Introduction
This article explains how to create custom fields in TRAEDE. Custom fields can be used on products, variants, customers, suppliers, orders, invoices, and production delivery notes. They allow you to store additional data that is not part of TRAEDE’s standard fields and can be used for reporting, filtering, or internal documentation.
Where to find
Settings > Master data settings > Custom fields
What custom fields are used for
Custom fields allow you to store extra information such as:
Composition / material
Country of origin
HS tariff code
Internal fields for logistics, production, or compliance
Additional product data not included by default
These fields are displayed on the Master data tab of a product (or the corresponding tab on orders, customers, suppliers, etc.).
Access the custom fields settings
Click your profile (top-right corner).
Scroll down the left panel.
Click Custom fields.
Here you can manage all custom field types across the system.
Available custom field categories
You will see separate sections for:
Production delivery note
Orders
Products
Product variants
Suppliers
Customers
Invoices
Each category allows you to create custom fields that apply specifically to that data type.
Create a new custom field
Click New.
Give the field a name.
(Optional) Add a description.
-
Choose where the custom field should be applied (e.g., Product, Variant, Order, Customer).
Note: Variant is a sub-level of Product and applies to SKUs.
Required for
You can choose whether a custom field is required for:
Brand users
Retailers
Customers
Orders
If a field is set to required, users must fill it out when creating or editing the item.
Most fields are typically set to None.
Show in table
Enable this if you want the custom field to be searchable/filterable from a list view.
Visible for
Choose who can see the custom field:
Brand
Retailers
Customers
If the field is for internal use only, choose Brand.
Selecting the field type
You must choose what type of custom field you want to create:
Available field types
Single-line text – free text entry
Radio select – select one value from multiple options
Checkbox – yes/no
Dropdown select – a dropdown list of predefined options
Dropdown (multi-select) – choose multiple options
Date picker – select a specific date
Month picker – select a month (TRAeDE saves the last day of that month)
Country picker – select a country (used for Country of origin)
Text area – multi-line free text
Static text – fixed text displayed to the user
Options
For dropdown, radio, or multi-select fields, you must add the specific options manually.
Grouping custom fields
You can group your custom fields to keep them organised, e.g.:
Product data
Sales
Reporting
Logistics
Groups help structure the fields inside the product or order page.
Visibility in forms
The final option, Show in forms, determines whether the field appears for users.
Example:
A system field used only for automation might not be visible.
Once all settings are configured, click Submit.
Refresh your browser after saving, and the new custom field will appear in the selected area inside TRAEDE.
