Add your own fields to coins

Add a field

You must have the "Manage settings" permission.

1. Go to Custom fields.
2. Click "Add field".
3. Enter the "Name", for example Pedigree.
4. Select the "Type":
   • "Text": any text, up to 500 characters.
   • "Number": a number, for example a mintage.
   • "List of choices": one choice from a list that you set. Type one choice on each line.
5. Click "Add field".

A workspace can have 50 custom fields. A field cannot have the name of a built-in coin field, such as Year or Metal.

Change or delete a field

• To change the name or the choices, click the edit button (the pencil icon). You cannot change the type of a field.
• To change the order on the coin page, click the up and down arrows.
• To delete a field, click the delete button (the trash icon), then click "Delete field".

When you remove a choice, coins keep that value until you change it. When you delete a field, coins keep their values. The values show in the "Coin" section of the coin page, and you cannot edit them there.

Set a value on a coin

You must have the "Edit coins" permission.

1. Open the coin.
2. In the "Custom fields" section, click the value.
3. Type the value, or select a choice. Select "None" to clear a choice.

The coin history records each change.

Set a value on many coins

1. Go to Coins.
2. Select the coins.
3. Click "Edit".
4. Under "Custom fields", turn on the field and enter the value. An empty value clears the field.
5. Click "Update ... coins".

Fill fields from an import

In a coin import, a column with the same name as a custom field fills that field. A number can have commas. A choice matches without regard to upper and lower case. When a value is not a number or not one of the choices, the row shows a warning. The coin imports without that value.
