The WHY:

Report accuracy

  • With min/max and required population at creation

Integration consistency

  • With data types that match the connected system

Flexible granularity

  • With project or task-level values and in-line edit

New capabilities:

Population at the project or task level

  • Datatypes beyond strings (dates, drop-downs, links, numbers, boolean toggles, etc)

Validation for minimum or maximum values

  • Requirement for population during creation

Initial Workflow

  • Create new custom fields in company settings

  • Drag the sort order of how custom fields appear according the sequence you prefer them to appear in the edit pane

  • Populate values in edit drawer or in-line on global projects table

Backwards compatibility:

UI: Legacy labels and values have been auto-migrated to the new format as of a few minutes ago

  • You can pick up where they left off with confidence all values will persist

API: Integration Builder connectors will continue to run without interruption

  • The new data type and validation properties are optional

  • The new task-level custom field endpoint is available now for custom actions until the connector is updated this week

Reports: Legacy datasets are still available but their values will no longer update

  • The new dataset will be available NEXT WEEK but Report Builder users will need to manually swap out the legacy dataset for the new one

 

Next steps:

Merge Tags: These will soon be auto-migrated just like legacy custom fields

  • Later in June we will switch the merge tag selection UI to check the custom fields table for labels that are public / externally visible

  • Then another script will set object type = project, data type = text, and visibility = public external

  • Until then, the legacy merge tag and new custom field global management screen will continue to be used in tandem
