Martin Pengelly-Phillips Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 It would be very useful to be able to have custom entity link fields in order to reduce confusion and boost productivity. By this I mean the ability to add a field (custom attribute) that is a link to another type of entity in the system and displays as such in the spreadsheet etc. We would want both single entity and multi entity support I think. A real world example of this is adding custom fields for assigning 'Reviewers' or 'Stakeholders' for tasks etc. It is confusing to just add them to Assignee so an extra field would help our workflow here. Thoughts? Philip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Shotgun has this, and I found it very useful indeed. It allowed us to make more complicated relationships between entities. Especially when paired with non project entities as well. (Which I don't think ftrack has?) An example of that would be, when we tracked materials as non project entities, we could associate our assets with the materials (that would happen at publish time) and then we know which assets in which projects depended upon certain materials. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pengelly-Phillips Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 We are still running with awkward custom enumerator fields here for things like Reviewer, but it really limits the functionality and is frustrating as we have to keep updating the values. Any hope for some more custom field types in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Lagergren Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 It is not something that we've planned for the near future. But I've just created this as an idea on the roadmap: https://trello.com/b/KzHjF9vb/ftrack-roadmap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
