How To Create Fields in Opportunity?

Introduction

The Fields tab on the Opportunity listing page allows you to centrally create and manage opportunity fields. Once created, these fields can be associated with multiple opportunity lists, eliminating redundancy and significantly reducing setup time.

Types of field in opportunity

There are two types of fields available in the Opportunity module:

Logic Fields

These are  fields used in logical configurations within opportunity lists, typically registration fields used in the opportunity logic .

Note: Logic fields cannot be edited or deleted.

Dynamic Fields

These are custom fields configured specifically for opportunities and actively used within them.

Note: Dynamic fields can be edited and deleted as needed.
