Work package form configuration (Enterprise add-on)

You can customize the work package form for each work package type to display the attributes most relevant to your team’s workflow. Attributes can be added, removed, and arranged within the form as needed.

In the Enterprise edition, you can also create and rename sections and add a related work packages table.

To configure the work package form for a type, navigate to Administration → Work packages → Types, select a type, and open the Form configuration tab.

The form preview on the right shows the attributes that are currently displayed when creating or editing work packages of this type. Attributes are organized into sections.

On the left side are all available attributes and custom fields that are not currently used in the form. You can filter them using the search field. User created custom fields are distinguished from system Built-in attributes by a label indicating the field’s format.

Conseil

Built-in fields can not be permanently removed. If you delete them from the form, they will appear on the left side.

To customize the form:

  • Add attributes and custom fields by dragging them from the left side into the desired section.
  • Remove attributes from the form using the (…) menu next to the attribute.
  • Reorder attributes and sections using drag and drop or the available move options from the (…) menu.
  • Rename sections using the (…) menu.

Remarque

If you use custom fields, remember that they must also be activated for the relevant projects before they can be used.
