The **Administration → Workspace settings → Task settings → Custom fields** section lets you add individually defined data inputs to tasks.

This allows you to capture project-specific information beyond the standard fields, such as risk assessments, test results, or responsibilities.

## How custom fields work

Custom fields are assigned to individual **task types** and then appear in the ticket form.

They provide structured inputs for data required by specific processes, such as compliance, quality assurance, or safety.

The available **field types** are:

- **Text** – for short entries, for example, “Responsible reviewer”.
- **Text area** – for longer entries, for example, “Audit result”.
- **Number** – for numeric values.
- **Date** – for recording dates such as an “Implementation date”.
- **Checkbox** – for Yes/No values.
- **Dropdown field (Select)** – for predefined options such as “High / Medium / Low”.

### Multilingual fields

Custom fields can be configured in multiple languages.

You can provide an appropriate label in each language for **names**, **descriptions**, and **select options**.

Leadtime automatically displays the appropriate text for the user's language.
