Custom attribute types
The five field types a custom attribute can take, with how each behaves in the dialog, on cards, and in exports.
| Type | Input in the dialog | On a card | In CSV / reports |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text | Single-line text field | Shown as a text chip | The text value |
| Number | Numeric input | Shown as a number chip | The numeric value |
| Select | Dropdown of the options you defined | Shown as the chosen option | The chosen option's label |
| Checkbox | A single checkbox | Shown when checked | true / false |
| Date | Date picker | Shown as the date | The date value |
Flags
Every type supports two flags, set when you define the attribute:
- Required — the worklog can't be saved without a value. Enforced on every surface that saves a worklog.
- Show on calendar card — the value renders as a chip on the worklog card (space permitting — see density tiers).
Notes
- Attributes appear in the Additional properties section of the Log Work dialog, collapsed by default for new worklogs and expanded in edit mode.
- Select options are defined per attribute when you create it.
- Changing an attribute's type after worklogs exist can affect how existing values display — pick the type deliberately up front.
