Custom Fields: Ability to add user-defined Columns/Fields in Table View (Text, Number, Date)
planned

In the last update, you added only the Dropdown List column type and marked the feature as complete, which is not true.
- Text
- Date
- Person
- Number column types are the bare minimum
It would be useful to have:
- Created Date
- Modified Date
- Created by
- Modified by

Narek Zograbian Hello Narek, thank you and your team for the update.
Regarding your question below, what can be improved. My use case is the following, I have several text fields that I use for different types of comments, and I am missing the ability to skip a line and start a new paragraph on the second line below existing text, basically the paragraph break in the "Text" field (with Alt+Enter for example). Screenshot 1.
Other than that the fields with "date of the task creation" and "date when it was modifed last time" would be a nice addition especially when the planned "custom sorting" feature will be implemented, so that tasks can be sorted, prioritized by its creation date for example. Screenshot 2.
If you are interested, with addition of the "Text" field I became a paid user at last. I have to keep my Smartsheet subscribtion too though due to lack of the "custom sorting" and created/modified date fields :'-)
Thank you.

janeborodat I'm glad to hear you joined us based on the latest addition.
Regarding your reply, it seems like there are a few features built into it. I think these are the relevant ones:
- Insert Timestamps: https://www.taskade.com/feedback/feature-requests/p/insert-timestamps-current-date
- Sort & Filter: https://www.taskade.com/feedback/feature-requests/p/sort-and-filter-by-custom-field
The other is to support line breaks with text fields. Did I get that right?

Hey there! Thank you for putting this together. Our first iteration of custom fields was to get a working version out to the public and then improve on it.
This list is very helpful—are there any other field types you think we should support?
- Email?
- Phone?
- File?
- Multi-Select?
Which would you prioritize first from these?

Narek Zograbian Sorry, it's hard to prioritize anything here when simple text/number is still not implemented.
I can say only that It would be nice if text/number would be implemented in table view like they are working in Excel or Smartsheet table view. You double click in the cell and start typing, you enter and see the result in the cell, not in some popup window(like it is in the "Comments" field). And Alt+Enter for the line break for text in the cell.

janeborodat We actually just released Text field and Number field has been out for around a couple weeks now. Do you think there's anything specific we can improve regarding those two?
