Custom Fields

Custom fields allow you to extend Djust’s standard data model to better fit your business needs. They provide flexibility by letting you add additional fields to most core entities in the system—without requiring any custom development.

Unlike products and variants, which rely on a dedicated attribute system, other entities in Djust can be enriched through custom fields.

Supported entities

Custom fields can be added to the following entities:

Navigation categories
Customer users
Accounts
Organisations
Offers
Orders
Suppliers
Quotes
Order Incidents

Best practices

We recommend defining all necessary custom fields before importing any data. If you change your custom fields after data has been imported, you'll need to re-import both the updated model and your data.
Avoid marking too many custom fields as required—this could block operators from creating new records if all required values are not filled in.
Make sure the field name and external ID are different. Using the same value for both may result in data import errors.

How to create a custom field

Go to the Settings menu and select the appropriate section based on the target entity:
- Customer Management → for customer users, accounts, organisations, and suppliers
- Catalog and Offer Management → for offers
- Order Management → for orders and order lines

Click Add custom field, then configure the field:

Give your field a name
Select a data type from the list below:

Type	Options / Description
Long text	Multiline input
Text	Single-line input
Number	Numeric value
Metric	Unit-based values (Weight, Volume, Length, Area) in metric or imperial units
Date	Date selector
List	Predefined values (text or metric), with optional multi-select
Boolean	Yes / No toggle
Media	Uploadable file (Document, Image, or Video), with max file size (in kB)

Define an external ID (no spaces, no accents)
Set whether the field is required or optional

Click Create. Your custom field will appear in the list with an active status by default and will be available immediately in forms for the relevant entity.
