Add and edit custom fields

Custom fields allow you to add additional information that's important to your organization to your positions in Talent. This information is in the Workday connector your organization admin connects from Atlassian administration, but there are some additional steps to reflect the information in Talent. You can add up to 15 custom fields. These custom fields are only shown in Talent.

If a data sync is occurring you may not be able to manage fields until the sync is finished.

Before you begin

• You must be an app or site admin

• You must have a Workday connector set up and configured that Talent is syncing from
