# Custom Fields for Task

Custom Fields in FluentBoards allow you to add task-specific information tailored to your workflow. Whether it's a text note, a number, a deadline, priority level, or any other detail, Custom Fields make your Task Board more flexible and personalized.

This guide walks you through how to **create**, **manage**, and **customize** fields to suit your project needs.

## Add New Custom Field

To create a new custom field, go to **Task Actions** and click on the **Custom Field** button.
