Hi @William_Mitiku

I modify the current scrum template and is working as expected. Custom attributes are created when I add a new project.

I use the admin panel to modify the Scrum template with this:

```auto
[
    {
        "name":"architecto",
        "type":"date",
        "order":1,
        "description":"molestias modi fuga dicta voluptatem eveniet error ex placeat"
    },
    {
        "name":"deserunt exercitationem distinctio",
        "type":"url",
        "order":1,
        "description":"soluta illum inventore exercitationem provident adipisci error excepturi eum vel eveniet"
    },
    {
        "name":"nam",
        "type":"multiline",
        "order":1,
        "description":"accusamus aspernatur iste"
    },
    {
        "name":"sunt",
        "type":"richtext",
        "order":1,
        "description":"hic ad perferendis incidunt similique perspiciatis obcaecati commodi nesciunt doloremque"
    },
    {
        "name":"vel corrupti tempore",
        "type":"number",
        "order":1,
        "description":"porro earum itaque quae sit"
    }
]

```

I hope this can help.

Best regards.

Well, I’ve found a bug testing it. The json should be something like this:

```json

    {
        "name":"Test dropdown",
        "type":"dropdown",
        "order":1,
        "description":"This is a dropdown example",
        "extra":[
            "option 1",
            "option 2",
            "option 3"
        ]
    }

```

But it is not working. So I’ve created a [bug in Taiga](https://tree.taiga.io/project/taiga/issue/5240) I hope we resolve as soon as possible for the next release.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

**Can I add a custom dropdown field to the project template now?**

I used [{“name”: “Divsion”, “type”: “dropdown”, “order”: 1, “description”: “User story’s owner”, “extra”: [“Service”, “Technology”, “ED office”, “Corporate Services”, “Business and Communications”]}]

But option fields cannot be shown after created a new project.
