Custom Fields

Last modified: 09 October 2024

YouTrack gives you the flexibility to customize almost any field that can be used to identify an issue. By default, YouTrack includes commonly used issue fields, like Type, State, and Assignee. For a list of custom fields that are attached to projects by default, see Default Custom Fields.

In addition to the fields that are predefined, you can define your own custom fields. You can use custom fields to store values for scheduling, references, hardware specifications or whatever else you need to track issues efficiently.

Each custom field stores information as a specific data type. Custom field types can be divided in two categories:

  • There are simple data types that store information as unformatted text (string), a number (integer), a date (date), as well as a few more specific data formats.

  • Enumerated types store predefined sets of values. These include arbitrary sets of values (enum), user accounts (date), issue statuses (state), and more.

To learn more about each of the data types that are supported for custom fields in YouTrack, see Custom Field Types.
