Custom fields

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 Stage field's options editor, each pipeline stage with its own colour swatch, name box, drag handle, and remove button

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.

What happens to existing records

  • 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.

Colours

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.
