Introduction
The property group custom field is an essential feature that allows you to tailor each property group to your specific needs. This feature ensures that different property group types contain the precise information required to manage tasks successfully.
Platform
Property group custom fields within the platform allow for detailed property group configuration and management.
Supported Field types
Type | Description |
Select | Set up multiple options for users to select, but they can only select one option. |
Multi-select | Set up multiple options for users to select more than one option. |
Number input | Set up a number-only field for users to input numbers. |

Remember, you can determine if the field should be required or optional. You can always edit this even after creation. However,
Once the custom field is created, you cannot change the field type again. You will need to create a new one.
