Is there spreadsheet custom fields?

[Richard Lucas]

Hi,

The scenario is:

I have been asked to create a bunch of very similar custom fields to record the estimated effort needed from different teams in a programme. For example:

• Effort BA 
• Effort QA
• Effort Dev

(So far, we're up to 8 different teams and I think you can see where this is going)

I don't think its the best to have all the fields permanently displayed and I'm sure additional teams will have to be added, each requiring to be setup by an admin.

Is there a  spreadsheet type of custom field where users can add their own rows to it? 

Looking forward to your suggestions,

Thanks,

Richard

Richard,

If i'm understanding your issue well, you can have a custom field and then enter the various EFFORTS as Options. For example;

Effort (name of custom field). The field can be of Type; checkboxes, checklist, Select List (multiple choices), Select List (single choice)

Options: QA
               Dev
               BA

thanks

Hi Victor,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. What I'm trying to do is avoid having to create multiple fields. I looking for a custom field type that can act a bit like a spreadsheet or a table.

Eg if the user wants to add estimates for QA and Dev, they just create new rows in the table and enter the values that they want. 

Thanks again,

Richard

Richard,

Maybe a plugin will do. Please see the following
