This field is searchable, so you can make statistics with it or use it in gadgets.

  • Don’t reinvent the wheel. Use standard fields, such as labels and components, and avoid unnecessary creation of custom fields.
  • Remember that custom fields added to Tests are not copied to Test Runs, so they’re volatile/informative only; they’re not part of the specification.
  • Do not create new custom field using an Xray Custom Field Type.


Warning

Xray provides several Custom Fields Types such as: Automated Test Type Select List (single choice) , Manual Steps , Manual Steps Count, Test Type and others. We do not recommend creating custom fields using Xray Custom Fields types. 

We have an open suggestion (XRAY-9653to remove this possibility in order to avoid issues. Please watch or vote to get more feedback on its progress.
