Creating custom fields
Create a custom field of type Text, Label, or Rich Text and assign it to one or more object types to capture project-specific attributes in Test Manager.
Define extra attributes for requirements, test cases, or test sets under Project Settings > Custom Field Definitions, as Text, Label, or Rich Text fields. Only Administrators can create them, and names are limited to 20 characters.
Context
- Custom field names must be unique and are limited to 20 characters.
- Custom fields are applied to existing and newly created objects.
Prerequisites
- Only Administrators can create and configure custom fields.
Steps
- Log in to Test Manager and open your project.
- Navigate to Project Settings and then Custom Field Definitions.
- Select Create and configure the following settings:
- Name: Enter a name for your custom field.
- Description (Optional): Add a description for reference.
- Object Type: Select one or multiple object types.
- Data type: Choose whether to create a Text, Label, or Rich Text type for your custom field. Depending on the type of custom field you choose, the fields where you can input potential values vary:
- For custom fields of type Text, input in Value Hints the data that the custom field could take.
- For custom fields of type Label, list the potential values in the Possible values section. To add values, type and press Enter. For example, you can input numerical values such as:
1,2,3, if you assess priority.
- Default Value: Enter a value that is set as default for your object. For example:
Medium, as part of aLowtoHighscale.
- Select Save to confirm.
You can view custom fields applied to your objects in the Details tab of each object.
To understand how custom fields can help you, consider a scenario in which you want to assess the risk type, and define a custom field to support your decision. Now, you can identify and label a specific object based on the risk type.
Result
The custom field is saved and applied to all existing and newly created objects of the specified type. The custom field is visible in the Details tab of each object.
