Custom field governance - include a "definition" field for Custom Fields

We have been with Wrike since 2017 and as a result we've built up quite a few custom fields. For better governance of custom fields, and on boarding of new employees, it would be amazing if there was a text box within the custom field settings to provide a brief definition of the field. This would also be accessible from the Account/Space custom field management table. And another step further would be to have a mouseover of the custom field header that displays this same definition.

Thanks for your consideration!

Thank you for the feedback, Soraya Jung. 😊  A built-in option to add descriptions or tooltips directly to custom fields would be super useful. I have shared your suggestion with our product team. 👍🏽

We also would love this. It would help clarify what exactly fields are being used for especially when you have similar, but not identical fields.

Upvoted!!! 

This would be very helpful as accounts fall to different people over time. Custom field management is a whole thing on its own!

genius idea! I have "defining custom item types and fields" always on my (non wrike) to-do list.
