Overview

By default, all Space members except for External users, Collaborators, Contributors and Viewers can create Space-level custom fields and edit their properties. It's possible to keep this ability available exclusively to Space admins.

Use Space-level custom fields to store and track any kind of Space-specific data. These custom fields are only visible in the Space that they belong to, and the data inside them is shared with all Space members.

If you have permission to create Space-level custom fields, when you create a new custom field, it belongs to the current Space by default. It's also possible to manually convert Space-level custom fields to account-level ones.

Manage custom fields in Spaces

Space admins can open the custom fields management view in the Space that they manage.

  1. Open the relevant Space 1.

  2. Click the gear 2 located below the Space’s name or from the sidebar.

On this view, you see all account- and Space-level custom fields that are added to the current Space, except for the ones that aren't shared with you.

From the view you can:

  • Edit properties 4 of custom fields.

  • Add and remove 5 custom fields from the Space and folders or projects inside it.

  • Delete 6 any available custom field from the account if you're an account owner or admin with permission to delete custom fields. Or delete space-level custom fields if you're a space admin.
