create_custom_field

Create a custom field

Creates a new custom field in a workspace. Every custom field is required to be created in a specific workspace, and this workspace cannot be changed once set. A custom field’s name must be unique within a workspace and not conflict with names of existing task properties such as Due Date or Assignee. A custom field’s type must be one of text, enum, multi_enum, number, date, or people. Returns the full record of the newly created custom field.

create_enum_option_for_custom_field

Create an enum option

Creates an enum option and adds it to this custom field’s list of enum options. A custom field can have at most 500 enum options (including disabled options). By default new enum options are inserted at the end of a custom field’s list. Locked custom fields can only have enum options added by the user who locked the field. Returns the full record of the newly created enum option.

get_custom_field

Get a custom field

Get the complete definition of a custom field’s metadata. Since custom fields can be defined for one of a number of types, and these types have different data and behaviors, there are fields that are relevant to a particular type. For instance, as noted above, enum_options is only relevant for the enum type and defines the set of choices that the enum could represent. The examples below show some of these type-specific custom field definitions.

update_custom_field

Update a custom field

A specific, existing custom field can be updated by making a PUT request on the URL for that custom field. Only the fields provided in the data block will be updated; any unspecified fields will remain unchanged When using this method, it is best to specify only those fields you wish to change, or else you may overwrite changes made by another user since you last retrieved the custom field. A custom field’s type cannot be updated. An enum custom field’s enum_options cannot be updated with this endpoint. Instead see “Work With Enum Options” for information on how to update enum_options. Locked custom fields can only be updated by the user who locked the field. Returns the complete updated custom field record.
