Surprised that I couldn't do this when I tried to. We use tasks for deliverables, and it creates a subtask when someone requests that deliverable in the form. If pulling from a blueprint, it's not able to copy the custom field to indicate the deliverable type.

Until this is fixed I just have to create the task outside of blueprints and pull that in from the form build.

I've tried to activate custom fields on a parent folder and the blueprint, which shows them.  When using the blueprint and placing the project in the folder, it only shows some of the fields.  I think has something to do to whether the field is from a parent, "this folder" or subfolder.

As a user, I expect to see the same functionality across the entire platform so I have a consistent experience. I thought I was going nuts when I didn't see the option between Attachments and Dependencies:

Custom fields on Blueprints would save me time so I don't have to manually tag our "business as usual" tasks for reporting purposes each month - How much work was completed by each team or was a combined effort? Which category was the work for? Which channels did we target? What type of work was it? What was the estimate? - all repeatable data points that serve the team and would save us time if it could be automated.

Thank you for adding your support here Daisy Hibbard! 

I'm sorry to hear this causes inconvenience. Please rest assured our Product team is aware of this feedback, and we'll let you know once we have an update from them.

Would like the opportunity to add in a custom field numeric to a blueprint task.  We sum and roll up "Social Posts" based on subtasks that connect to Marketing Insights.  Currently I have to fill in the custom field in each subtask, but if the custom field was filled in from the blueprint, it would greatly reduce the time needed to fill them all in manually.

Hi Teresa Harding, thank you for your feedback, I've shared it with our Product team. Please be sure to upvote the original post if you haven't yet 👍🏼

We would like the ability to copy Custom Fields when saving a Task as a blueprint. (I understand that this functionality already exists for the creation of Projects from blueprints, but we rarely create Projects from blueprints.)

We would also like the ability to pre-populate Custom Fields in the blueprint. This will prevent us from having to populate the Custom Fields for recurring/repetitive tasks.

Hello Michelle Nordwald, welcome to the Community, and thank you for posting!

I've shared your feedback with our Product team.

May I ask if you've considered using the new Work Templates? They would launch the custom fields you set when creating from it though it's currently not possible to create recurring tasks you can duplicate from it. 

Here is a detailed explanation of how to create task templates, please let me know if this helps 🙋🏻‍♀️

Hi Cansu, thank you for making me aware of Work Templates! How can I stay informed about new Wrike features?

Hi Michelle Nordwald, hope you don't mind me jumping in for Cansu here 👍

Above development will enable me to add custom fields to projects created from blueprints?

Hi Anam Kidwai, thank you for bumping this thread, this is still a suggestion so please do upvote the original post if you haven't yet. There is a similar thread here, if you'd like to add your support there as well. 

I added a comment here 1.5 years ago in support of this idea, and this has come back up in a major way at my organization as we are going to start relying heavily on custom fields. Having the ability to populate custom fields in a blueprint (project OR task) is crucial automation functionality. Otherwise, someone (usually me) has to manually update them once the project or task is created from the blueprint. I SO just want to select the custom field answers on the blueprint so whenever anyone kicks it off, it has all of the info we need for that specific type of work (which in theory will have the same pre-populated custom field values every time). 

Thank you so much for your continuous feedback here Daisy Hibbard. Please rest assured it is passed on to our Product team.

Shocked this hasn't been implmented yet, up voted!

After four years this feature is not available yet..

William Silva Colaborador, when you open a blueprint, any blueprint, do you have the 
"More Fields" option as shown below? For the life of me, I don't remember how I finally got custom fields to show up on our blueprints, but the option IS AVAILBLE! If you have blueprints attached to a Form to create a task when submitted (where it will attach a blueprint as a subtask), it will carry over the pre-selected custom fields!

I have overall account Admin permissions, so that might be how I was able to set it up last year. I also have these set up as account custom fields, not only available in a Space.

UPDATE: I figured out how I did it! (William Silva Colaborador FYI!)

1. Must be an Account Admin
2. Go to Settings > Account Management (on left sidebar) > Custom Fields
3. Click the custom field you want to add to Blueprints (Critical note: I had to create a folder per department so teams can only see the custom fields they need. Otherwise, if you add every custom field you need to the account Blueprints, you'll see all of them on every blueprint. For us that became a cluttered mess which is why I separated them.)
4. At the bottom of the custom field pop-out, click "Add To" (see screenshot)
5. Search for the name of the folder you created in Blueprints. That's it!

Daisy Hibbard I was able to get your fix to work. Thanks so much for posting!
