BUG: Custom fields are not displayed on cards

[jmbillard]

Summary

The board configuration allows selecting custom fields to be displayed on cards, but the selected fields are not appearing in the cards.

This affects:

• Custom fields

Environment

• Windshift self-hosted
• Docker deployment

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a board.
2. Go to Configure (board settings).
3. Go to card fields.
4. Select custom fields (created through the custom fields settings).
5. Save.
6. Return to the board view.
7. Open or refresh the cards.

Actual Behavior

The selected fields are not displayed on cards.

Examples:

• Custom fields enabled in board settings do not appear.

The card UI remains unchanged.

Expected Behavior

When a field is enabled in the board configuration, it should appear on the corresponding cards.

Example:

Board settings:

Card fields visibility

☑ Priority
☑ Due date
☑ Writer
☑ Project Path

Expected card display:

Task title

Priority: High
Due date: 2026-08-10
Writer: John
Project Path: /project/example

Additional Information

I initially thought custom fields were missing because there was no clear indication of where to create them, but after finding the custom fields configuration, the issue appears to be that fields cannot actually be rendered on cards.

The configuration UI suggests that fields can be selected for card visibility, but the card rendering does not reflect the selection.

Possible Cause

Possible issues:

• Card rendering is not loading the configured visible fields.
• Board field visibility settings are not being persisted.
• Frontend cache/state is not refreshed after changing field visibility.
• Custom fields and system fields may not be connected correctly to the card component.

Request

Please verify the card field visibility flow:

1. Field creation
2. Board visibility configuration
3. Card rendering

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for reporting this!

One thing that is missing is probably the screen assignment of the custom fields. The custom fields by default have no screen assignment and need to be either assigned to the Default Screen or the screen of the configuration set attached to the workspace.

Does this solve the problem?

@stefan-ernst
Good morning! Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, that solved the issue—I was able to display the custom fields on the cards after assigning them to the appropriate screen.

However, I noticed two other issues:

• The System Field Labels does not appear on the card, even when it is enabled.
• When editing a Single Line Text custom field, the input loses focus after every character, as if Enter had been pressed. I can only type one character each time I click back into the field, which makes editing very difficult.

Let me know if you'd like me to open separate issues for these.
