Managing custom properties
Overview
A custom property refers to the descriptive data that is associated with an artifact or sub-artifact. All custom properties are created by project administrators for individual projects.
Project administrators with the applicable privileges can create custom properties and apply them to one or more artifact or sub-artifact types. Custom properties are defined and managed on the Custom Properties tab in the Project Administration Console. The Properties tab looks like this:
The left side of the page provides you with a table containing the following columns of information about each custom property:
-
Name: Indicates the name of the custom property.
-
Type: The custom property can be one of the following types: text, number, date/time, choice, or user/group.
-
Is Standard: Indicates the property exists in all projects across the instance.
Note: Standard properties can only be edited at the instance level by an instance administrator with the applicable privileges.
After you select a custom property from the table, the custom property details are displayed on the right side of the page.
Tip: The option to replace a custom property with a standard property is available to project administrators with the applicable privileges. Replacing a custom property with the standard effectively applies your property to all projects in the instance.
