Custom Project Fields

Marc Addeo

Is it possible to add custom fields to a project? I'd like to have a way to add alotted hours to our maintenance projects. e.g. show 6 hours of work is alloted for this month. (It doesn't need to decrease or anything, just show the total hours that they are paying for this month)

Yes, you can do this.

From the Administrator page, click on Custom Fields in the Issues section. Click Add Custom Field, then select the data type of the field (sounds like Number Field will work for you). Click Next, give your new field a name (and description, if you want), pick the issue types you want it to be added to, and select the project you want it for.

Then it pops up the Screens tab and you can click the checkboxes for which screens this new field should appear on. Click Update and you're done.

Pretty easy, eh?
