Every item in Nestr can be extended with custom fields to capture exactly the data your organisation needs. Add text fields, numbers, dates, dropdowns, checkboxes, or file uploads to any label type.
How do custom fields work in Nestr?
Custom fields are defined at the label level. When you create a project label with a priority dropdown, every project in your workspace gets that field automatically. This keeps your data consistent and searchable across the board. You can add as many fields as needed, and each one is available in search and views.
What can custom fields be used for?
Use custom fields to track anything from sprint numbers and cost centres to client references and approval status. They turn Nestr's flexible structure into a data model that matches your organisation's specific way of working.
