Customization features inside of Coast are constantly being improved and added to. You may see other fields not listed here in workflows that have been created by Coast. If you have questions about adding a field that you do not see here, please contact Support. Below is a list of the fields that are currently available for customization.
Customization is only available in no-code workflows in the library labeled with “Custom”.
