## Supported object types

* Requirements
* Test Cases
* Test Set

## Custom fields conditions

* Only Administrators can create and configure custom fields.
* Custom fields are project-specific and apply only to the object type for which they have been defined.
* Custom field defined for objects synchronized from 3rd party applications are not added to Test Manager. For example, if you have synchronized a Jira requirement for which you had defined a custom field, you will not see an entry in the **Details** tab of your object, in Test Manager.
* Custom field names must be unique and are limited to 20 characters.
* Custom fields are applied to existing and newly created objects.
* Deleted custom fields are still applied to your existing objects. The value is set to free-form text and it does not retain any previously defined value. Deleting the value flags the custom field with an asterisk symbol.

## Creating custom fields

1. Log in to Test Manager and open your project.
2. Navigate to **Project Settings** > **Custom Field Definitions** tab.
3. Click **Create** and configure the following settings:
   * **Name**: Enter a name for your custom field.
   * **Description** (Optional): Add a description for reference.
   * **Object Type**: Select an object type from the dropdown.
   * **Default Value**: Enter a value that is going to be set as default for your object. For example: `Medium`, as part of a `Low` to `High` scale.
   * **Value Hints**: Type a value and press **Enter** to add it to the list. You can add any kind of value. For example: `1`, `2`, `3`, if you assess priority.
4. Click **Save** to confirm.

   You can view custom fields applied to your objects in the **Details** tab of each object.
