Customize testing objects with 8 different type of fields

Add custom fields in the project settings / fields menu for all testing objects:

During creation, select **field type**, add **details**, and choose the **placement**(where to show):

* Auto - BesTest arrange them by type (dates, people etc. automatically grouped)
* Main - on the left side, with bigger size
* Custom Fields - after the built-in section, bottom right
* Automation (TC only) - grouped with the Test Automation section

Select and multi-select fields have the option to add colors to the values for better visibility on the UI.

Custom fields appear in the catalog views, can be used in the collection and can be filtered for.

One of the best usage for custom fields (for test cases), is to build more granular, in-depth collections with them, so that planning a cycle could be straightforward.&#x20;

Custom fields are completely supported during import, you only need to create them before import, so that you can map your data with them.
