Can custom fieds be recreated

[Kirstine]

I had a Premium account on Trello where I used custom field on the cards. The subscription ended and the data I typed on my cards disappeared as the custom field feature is not included ind the Free edition. If I purchase a Standard licens to my account, will it be possible to recreated the custom fields applied to my cards as they were before? Or will I have to do it all over again?

Hi @Kirstine ,

Yes, you don’t have to redo everything from scratch as long as you upgrade again to a plan that includes Custom Fields.

You can refer to this statement from Trello documentation: Add a Custom Field to a card (near the end)

What happens to Custom Fields on the Free plan

Custom Fields aren’t available in Free Workspaces, but their values are not deleted if a Workspace is downgraded to the Free plan.

They will become temporarily unavailable but will come back as soon as the Workspace is upgraded to a paid plan.

Hey @Kirstine 

Yes, custom field data is retained and will be restored when you upgrade back to a paid plan.
