Add or manage Custom Field
Note
Prefer to use Custom Metadata as we may deprecate Custom Fields in the future.
This short guide shows how to create and maintain Custom Fields in the Repository so your teams capture consistent metadata and speed up integration management.
- ✅ Ensure consistent, searchable metadata for Integrations and Services.*
- ✅ Configure single or multiple value fields to match your business needs.*
- ✅ Link fields to external documentation for easy operator reference.*
