You can create custom fields for test cases, test cycles, test plans, test steps, test executions, and folders.

The following field types are available:

• Checkbox

• Number

• Select List (Multi-Choice)

   Required fields must have a value before a new item (test case, test step, etc.) can be saved.

5. Click Add.
   Your custom field appears on the list. Hover over the row to edit or delete the field.

Custom fields appear on the Details tab (More Information section) of each test case/plan/cycle/step/execution or folder in the project.

Labels

Labels can only be deleted, not archived.

When you delete a label, you are prompted with information on how the label is used throughout Zephyr Scale. If the label is used on test artefacts, you are given the option to select a replacement label.

If you select None, there is no replacement for the deleted label.

You can delete or archive any custom additions you make to Zephyr Scale.

• Delete - Permanent removal from the app.

• Archive - Renders the option invisible and inactive throughout Zephyr Scale but saves it in the configuration settings in case you want to activate it later.

Hover over any row, and click the cog to access the drop-down options.

Click the image to enlarge it.

If you click Delete, you are prompted to verify your choice, as deletion is permanent. Some items currently in use within the app cannot be deleted.

If you click Archive, your item becomes gray and inactive. You can reactivate it by clicking the cog, then Unarchive.
