Setting up Custom Fields for the New Post form

Custom fields in FeatureOS allow you to collect additional details when users submit issues and suggestions. By customizing the new post form, you can ensure the right information is provided upfront, making feedback more actionable.

Custom Field Types

We support 5 types of custom fields,

• Short Text Field – For brief inputs like names or short descriptions.
  Example: "Product Name"

• Number Field – For numerical entries such as priority levels.
  Example: "Age", “version number”

• Long Text Field – For detailed responses.
  Example: "Describe the issue in detail."

• Checkbox – A single checkbox for simple yes/no selections.
  Examples: "Is this issue urgent?", "Does this require a hotfix?", "Affects all users?"

• Date Input – For selecting a specific date from a calendar or entering a date manually.
  Examples: "Due Date", "Date of Birth", "Report Submission Date"
