Add a field to an item group

An item form shows whatever fields its item group defines. Adding a field to the group adds it to every item in that group at once.

Add the field

1. Open your project and pick the item group.
2. Open its field settings and click Add field.
3. Give the field a label, choose its type, and Save.

Existing items keep their values and gain the new field, empty.

Before you pick a type

Changing a type later does not carry the values across, so it is worth a moment now. If the values come from a fixed set, a category, a finish family, use List rather than Text, so they can be filtered later.

What to reuse

• Choose a field type
• Fields that hold several values

Troubleshooting

The new field is empty on every item

That is expected. A new field starts empty everywhere; fill it as you edit each item, or ask an integrator to bulk-fill it through the API.

I cannot delete a field

You can, but deleting a field deletes its values on every item in the group, and that is not undoable. Export first if the values matter.
