+``` + +**CRITICAL**: +- Options MUST be provided at creation time using `--single-select-options` +- Options cannot be added later via CLI +- Format: Comma-separated, no spaces after commas +- Status field is a built-in default field - never create it + +**Best Practices**: +- Keep options list short (5-10 ideal) +- Use clear, unambiguous names +- Order logically (workflow progression) +- Avoid overlapping meanings +- Document what each option means + +### Number + +**Purpose**: Numeric values (integer or decimal) + +**Use cases**: +- Story Points (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) +- Estimated Hours (decimal) +- Customer Impact (count) +- Revenue Impact (dollars) +- Affected Users (count) +- Sprint Capacity (points) + +**Characteristics**: +- Sortable and filterable +- Supports math operations (sum, average) +- No min/max validation (set via workflow norms) +- Can be decimal or integer + +**CLI Creation**: +```bash +gh project field-create <project-id> --owner "@me" \ + --data-type NUMBER --name "Story Points" +``` + +**CLI Update**: +```bash +gh project item-edit --id <item-id> --project-id <project-id> \ + --field-id <field-id> --number 5 +``` + +**Best Practices**: +- Document units (hours, points, count) +- Use consistent scale (Fibonacci for story points) +- Don't use for categorical data (use Single Select) +- Consider aggregation needs + +### Date + +**Purpose**: Calendar date (no time component) + +**Use cases**: +- Due Date +- Start Date +- Launch Date +- Reported Date +- Target Completion +- Review By Date + +**Characteristics**: +- Format: YYYY-MM-DD +- Enables timeline/roadmap views +- Sortable and filterable +- No time component (dates only) +- Past dates highlighted in red (in UI) + +**CLI Creation**: +```bash +gh project field-create <project-id> --owner

+**Best Practices**: +- Use for deadlines and milestones +- Combine with Status for at-risk detection +- Set realistic dates (avoid always late pattern) +- Review and adjust dates as needed +- Use roadmap view for visualization + +### Iteration + +**Purpose**: Time-boxed planning cycles (sprints) + +**Use cases**: +- 2-week sprints +- Monthly cycles +- Quarterly planning +- Release trains +- PI (Program Increment) planning + +**Characteristics**: +- Fixed duration (1-4 weeks typical) +- Start and end dates +- Automatically creates future iterations +- Enables velocity tracking +- Burndown calculations +- Sortable chronologically + +**CLI Creation**: +```bash +gh project field-create <project-id> --owner "@me" \ + --data-type ITERATION --name "Sprint" +``` + +**Configuration** (via UI):

item-edit --id <item-id> --project-id <project-id> \ + --field-id <field-id> --iteration-id <iteration-id> +``` + +**Best Practices**: +- Consistent duration (2 weeks standard) +- Start sprints on same weekday +- Name iterations clearly (Sprint 1, Sprint 2 or dates) +- Close/archive old iterations after 6 months +- Track velocity across iterations + +### Text + +**Purpose**: Free-form text input (single line) + +**Use cases**: +- Owner name +- External ticket ID +- Slack thread link +- Sprint goal +- Related feature +- Customer name + +**Characteristics**: +- Single line (not multiline) +- Searchable +- Not structured (no validation) +- Filterable (exact match or contains) +- Max length ~1000 characters + +**CLI Creation**: +```bash +gh project field-create <project-id> --owner "@me"

Useful for multi-repo projects +- Filter by repo + +### Milestone +- Inherited from issue/PR +- Not editable in project view +- Useful for release planning +- Can filter by milestone + +### Linked
