 Edit the options in a select field 
====================================

Rename, reorder, add, or colour the choices in any select — including pipeline stages and task statuses.

 Updated August 13, 2026

 The choices inside every select-style field are yours to edit — and that includes the two selects Relaticle ships with strong opinions about: the opportunity **Stage** field (your pipeline) and the task **Status** field (your board columns).

1. Click your workspace name at the top of the sidebar, then **Custom Fields** (workspace owners only).
2. Pick the record type's tab — **Opportunities** for stages, **Tasks** for statuses.
3. Open the field and edit its **Options**: rename any option in place, **Add Option** for new ones, drag to reorder, or remove ones you don't use.

The change lands everywhere at once — forms, list filters, and the boards, whose columns follow the options and their order exactly. Renaming "Prospecting" to "New lead" relabels the board column; adding a "Contract sent" option adds a column.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- **Renaming** an option keeps every record pointing at it — records show the new name immediately.
- **Removing** an option clears it from records that used it; they'll show an empty value until someone picks a new one. Check the board column is empty before removing a stage.

If the field has **Enable Color Options** on (Stage does by default), each option gets a colour swatch, used for the badges in lists and on board cards. Set colours in the same Options editor.
