Hi @Vera Valshonok ,

my suggestion is to use a multi-select list with a default context and specify specific environments fro project basis. 

Hope this helps,

Fabio

@Vera Valshonok -

I agreed with @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ suggestion.  You should create a new custom field (multi-select dropdown list data format) and then apply it to the project(s) of your choice.  

NOTE - When creating a new custom field, you should also ensure the field name is unique (since Environment field is an out of the box field already).  Then apply custom context for each of your projects as needed.  By default, a new custom field is created and it is applied to all projects with the same context (i.e. same set of dropdown options).

Hope this also helped

Thanks! I need to add another environment out of already existent once which already exist as a dropdown list for the existent filed. Can I just go to this multiple choice dropdown and add another  Environment name?

Can it be a risk to break something in the existent work?
