Custom Values in Stack

Custom Values in Stack are key:value pairs that you can create once and reuse throughout the platform. This feature saves you time by allowing you to update a single value that automatically updates everywhere the key is used.

What Are Custom Values?​

Custom Values consist of a Key and a Value that can be accessed anywhere in Stack. Instead of repeatedly entering the same information, you can use the Key. When you update the Value in the Custom Values list, it automatically updates everywhere the Key is used.

How to Create Custom Values​

  1. Navigate to Custom Values:

    • Go to Settings > Custom Values within your Stack account.

  2. Create a New Custom Value:

    • Click the New Custom Value button located in the upper right corner.

  3. Fill in the Fields:

    • Name Field: This is where you define the Key. For example, "My Custom Value" becomes custom_values.my_custom_value.
    • Value Field: Enter the value you want associated with the Key.
    • Folder Field (optional): You can organize your Custom Values into folders if desired.
