Description

The Custom Fields addon adds 11 custom field types to UpStream project, milestone, task, bug, and file forms, including radio buttons, dropdowns, checkboxes, file uploads, and color pickers. Recommended for those who need to record specific technical data in each item, such as browser, PHP version, or screen size in a bug, expanding information collection beyond the standard fields of the project management tool.

Key Features of Custom Fields

  • Eleven field types
    Includes radio, dropdown, checkbox, file upload, text box, color picker, tags, categories, autoincrement, user, and country.
  • Multi-module application
    Makes fields available in UpStream Projects, Milestones, Tasks, Bugs, and Files.
  • Fields with specialized typing
