Advanced Fields
Advanced fields cover specialized use cases that go beyond basic data entry. From currency formatting and file attachments to automatically generated identifiers, these field types add powerful capabilities to your boards.
Money
The Money field stores numeric values and displays them with currency formatting. It supports multiple currencies and follows the same number formatting options as the Number field.
- Value type: Number
- Default behavior: Accepts numeric input and displays the value with the selected currency symbol.
- Typical uses: Prices, budgets, revenue, costs, invoices, payments.
Supported Currencies
| Currency | Symbol | Code |
|---|---|---|
| Brazilian Real | R$ | BRL |
| US Dollar | $ | USD |
| Euro | E | EUR |
| British Pound | L | GBP |
| Japanese Yen | Y | JPY |
| Bitcoin | B | BTC |
| Ethereum | E | ETH |
You select the currency when configuring the column. The currency symbol is displayed as a prefix on every cell value. All standard number formatting options --- decimal places, thousands separators, and abbreviations --- are also available for Money fields.
File
The File field lets you attach one or more files to a row. Each attached file stores its name, MIME type, and size.
- Value type: Array of file objects
- Default behavior: Click to upload or drag and drop files into the cell.
- Typical uses: Attachments, documents, images, receipts, contracts, design assets.
Key Behaviors
- Multiple files --- A single File cell can hold several attachments.
- File information --- Each attachment displays its file name. Hover or click to see additional metadata.
- Preview --- Supported file types (images, PDFs) can be previewed directly.
- Download --- Click on an attached file to download it.
- Cell display --- The cell shows the count of attached files when collapsed.
Link Button
The Link Button field adds a clickable button to each row that opens a pre-configured linked row form. This is useful when you want users to quickly create or view related records in a linked table without navigating away from the current board.
- Value type: Boolean (button)
- Default behavior: Renders a button in the cell. Clicking it opens the linked row form.
- Typical uses: "Add subtask" buttons, "Create invoice" shortcuts, quick-entry forms for related data.
Configuration
When setting up a Link Button column, you configure:
- Label --- The text displayed on the button.
- Linked table --- The target table where the new row will be created.
- Link column --- The Linking column used to establish the relationship.
- Form fields --- Choose which fields from the target table appear in the form, set visibility, mark required fields, and define default values.
This field type is read-only in the sense that users interact with it only through the button. It cannot be sorted or grouped like other fields.
Password
The Password field stores text that is masked by default, hiding the value behind dots or asterisks.
- Value type: String
- Default behavior: Text input where the stored value is hidden from view.
- Typical uses: API keys, access codes, license keys, sensitive identifiers.
The Password field does not provide encryption --- it is a display-level mask. For security-critical secrets, consider using a dedicated secrets manager. This field is best suited for low-sensitivity values that should simply not be visible at a glance on the board.
Autonumber
The Autonumber field generates an automatically incrementing numeric identifier for each new row. It is read-only and cannot be edited manually.
- Value type: String (read-only, auto-generated)
- Default behavior: Each new row receives the next sequential number automatically.
- Typical uses: Ticket numbers, invoice IDs, order numbers, sequential reference codes.
Configuration Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Start sequence | The number from which the sequence begins (default: 1) |
| Prefix | An optional string prepended to the number (e.g., "TICK-", "INV-", "ORD-") |
For example, with a prefix of "TICK-" and a start sequence of 1000, the first row would display TICK-1000, the next TICK-1001, and so on.
The current sequence value is tracked by the system and advances each time a new row is created in the table.
