Custom field for section "project"

Added by Rainer Proehl about 4 years ago

Hi,

how can I use the custom field I created for projects? I created the custom field "project category" and defined some values for a list.

I categorize the project with this mandatory field.

To have an overview of all sub projects I like to filter for this field but I can not select it in the work package views - and idea how to get a grouped overview of all subproject?

Cheers

Rainer

Hi Rainer, 

The option to filter for a custom field for projects is an Enterprise feature only. You can make your custom field visible as a column in “View all projects”. To do so go to “Administration” – “System settings” – “Projects”. 
https://docs.openproject.org/system-admin-guide/system-settings/project-system-settings/

If you are using the Community Edition it is unfortunately not possible to filter for custom fields for projects. 

Kind regards
Samantha

Hi Samantha,

I couldn't find the option u referring to. We use the enterprise edition hosted by OpenProject.

BTW: The custom field is available in all projects (by default?), but it can not be selected as a filter.

The section "custom fields" below the project settings only list work package custom fields, not project related custom fields.
