How To Add Custom Fields To DocBoss ProjectsUsers may now add an unlimited number of custom fields to the main area of projects. Create new date, text, or list fields.

There is also an option to define whether fields are mandatory. Users may apply them to any or all project templates.

Other Data Fields are managed via Project (Main) Fields page. Snag_38fa9519.png

Here you can see any existing fields. Note: if the fields have been used on any existing or previous projects you will not see a delete option. You will also not be able to edit the Type from date to text, or vice versa. You can edit to make this field “required”.
