When you create a workspace property, you need to select the type of data the property will contain.

The type you select will deliver different options for the workspace members filling out the values in their project forms.

The workspace property types are:

  • Text: A single-line open text entry. Accepts any characters.

  • Number: Accepts only digits and common dividers like , or .

  • Date: Creates a date-picker field

  • Toggle: For Yes/No, On/Off. Think of this as being similar to a checkbox.

  • Select: Create a custom single-select dropdown of options

  • Text Area: A multi-line open text entry. Accepts any characters.

  • File: Allows for a file upload, such as an image or PDF.

Text

Text properties' only settings are name, label, description, and defaults.
