Overview

Account owners and admins can edit and delete existing account-level custom item types. Space admins can edit and delete existing space-level custom item types in their space.

Note

On Enterprise accounts, the types of users who can use this functionality may vary due to user type settings.

You can adjust your custom item types. Changes you make to a Custom Item Type are visible in all work created from this type, including work created before the edits. However, only structural changes will be applied. Changes to the description and workflow will not affect existing items.

Note

When you change the default workflow in a custom item type, it doesn't automatically update in the work created from that custom item type previously.

Edit custom item types

  1. Navigate to the custom item types gallery:

    1. For space-level types: Click the gear icon to enter space settings, then select Custom item types tab.
