Custom fields
Custom fields, which can be classified into two groups Ticket fields and Customer fields, is a feature to add additional information on a ticket or a customer. You can add a new custom field in Settings > Ticket fields or Customer fields. You can also add a value of the custom field in the Ticket details view or in the Customer details view.
Each custom field is given one of the four data types: Integer, Text, Dropdown, Link. Since every custom field can hold information that corresponds to its data type, keep in mind that you must enter keywords based on the data type of the selected custom field when searching for tickets using custom fields.
Note: The length of the value in a custom field is 190 characters.
