Create and manage custom fields in account settings

You can now create and manage custom fields in Settings, for the whole account rather than one campaign at a time. Every custom field your organization uses is listed in Settings > Custom fields. Previously, a custom field existed only within the campaign where it was created. There was no central place to view all the custom fields your organization had accumulated or see which campaigns used each field.

Each field in the list carries its own settings. Value input decides how the value is entered in a campaign: free text, or a fixed list of options to pick from. A default value pre-fills the field whenever it is added to a campaign. Auto-add to new campaigns puts the field into every campaign the account creates from then on.

Fields you no longer use can be archived. An archived field stops appearing in the list campaigns pick from, and campaigns already using it keep it and go on recording values.

Subaccounts see the custom fields of their parent account alongside their own and can add either to their campaigns. Fields belonging to the parent account are read-only in a subaccount.

How values reach a donation is unchanged. Links and the JavaScript API work exactly as before.
