Custom Fields, Single-select vs. text

English Forum Tips and Tricks

Hi there,
I would like to create a reference project where each tasks represents a hardware item.
The Task will be created through a form or through the API.

Each Item contains a bunch of values that are saved in custom fields.
Best would be single-select values to offer a good visual orientation and sort/grouping features.

As I understand it, it is not possible to create values in Single-select custom fields through a forms input or via API.
Is this right?
This would mean, each values needs to be added manually? :sob:

The alternative would be to use text fields as format.
Limitation here: no grouping or filtering for custom views possible.
Right?

Any ideas or workarounds?
Does the new AI feature provide some help here?

Many thanks!

Correct, it is not.

Not correct - it is possible!

Here is the API endpoint to add new values to a single-select (enum) custom field:
