Originally created by @Thalley on GitHub (May 19, 2024).

In many other Kanban board implementations (including the new one in Github) it's possible to add custom fields (like "Epic", "Priority", etc.) and filter/sort on those.

That is a valuable feature if you plan to use it for team-based Kanban, where you may have a backlog of X items sorted by priority.

Hi! We have plans to add custom fields in the v2. I like the idea and we'll try to think about it after release.

V2 now has custom fields.
I would have liked for those to be expanded with drop downs, tags (jira-like) and links too personally

Hi! That's exactly why I haven’t closed this yet :) Still need to add dropdowns (probably with colors) to make custom fields more usable.
