# Update Name & Data of Custom Field in a task

This feature allows users to modify the name & data stored in a custom field that has already been created and added to a task. 

This feature provides flexibility and customization options for managing tasks by allowing users to track additional information specific to their project or workflow. To update a custom field, the user must select the task containing the custom field and edit the data as required. The updated information will then be reflected in the custom field for that particular task.

### Steps to Use:

* Select a **task** from a **project**. Click it. The **task modal page** opens.
* Select the **Custom Field** section.
* **Click** the **edit button** of the **created custom field**.
* Write the updated name of the custom field & click the Update button.
* Click the custom field and update the information and save it by clicking the tick button.
