How To Create Custom Fields During App Installation
Your custom app can automatically add **Custom Fields** to DocTypes outside of your app when it is installed to a new site.
To do this, add the new custom fields that your app requires, using the Frappe web application.
In your hooks.py
file, add "Custom Fields"
fixtures = ["Custom Field"]
Export fixtures before you commit your app with:
$ bench --site mysite export-fixtures
This will create a new folder called fixtures
in your app folder and a .csv
or .json
file will be created with the definition of the custom fields you added.
This file will be automatically imported when the app is installed in a new site or updated via bench update
.
Note: You can also add single DocTypes like "Website Settings" as fixtures
