Card property types
Managed list properties
Managed list properties are restricted to a list of specified values. The list of allowed values is generally set up in advance, and may be locked to prevent users other than Project admins from adding or removing values. If the property is not locked, then new values can be added dynamically by selecting the (new value) option while editing the property.
You can specify the allowable set of values for managed list properties from the Project admin tab.
Managed text list
Restricted to a list of text values. Managed text list properties can be used in filter conditions and card transitions.
Managed number list
Restricted to a list of numeric values. Managed number list properties can be used in filter conditions and card transitions. Managed number list properties are affected by the project numeric precision.
If a value is subsequently removed from the property, there may be multiple consequences - you can read more about deleting a value in maintaining card property values.
Any value properties
Allow any text
Allows any text up to 255 characters in length to be assigned as a value. Mingle will not manage these values.
Allow any number
Allows any number to be assigned as a value. The number will be rounded to the project numeric precision. Mingle will not manage these values.
Team member properties
Allows any project team member to be assigned as a value.
If a team member is subsequently removed from the project, all cards where the property is assigned to that team member will have the property value changed to (not set)
Date properties
Allows any date to be assigned as a value. Mingle will not manage these values.
Formula properties
Formula properties can be derived from numeric or date card properties. They allow you to create automatically computed values, reducing opportunities for inconsistency.
You can create an aggregate property based on a formula property
A simple example is calculating the end date of an iteration based on the start date and the length of the iteration in days. Here "Start Date" and "Iteration Length" are Iteration card properties.
The formula definition might look like:
"Start Date" + ("Iteration Length" - 1)
Take a look at some formula property examples.
Card relationship properties
Card relationship properties can take cards as its value. They allow you to set any existing cards in a project regardless its card type.
