# Trello Custom Fields

## Trello wasn't designed for Structured Data

Trello is best suited for free-form notes, chats, and arbitrary document attachments, for example for capturing all the notes against a project task.

However many process-orientated uses require that you can have structured data, entered against **custom fields**, without which reporting and slicing-and-dicing your data also becomes hard.

## Plug-ins and Add-ons for Custom Fields for Trello

There are some third-party [Add-ons](http://http//dailytekk.com/2015/04/15/these-5-awesome-trello-extensions-will-make-you-super-productive/?reading=continue) and [plug-ins](https://trello.com/b/nPNSBZjB/trello-resources) for Trello. Unfortunately none gives you very good **Trello Custom Fields support**.

If you discover any, please let us know, and we'll add them here.

In the meantime, consider that for more **process tasks and structured data**, [TaskPutty](/content/site-root.html) may be a better fit for you, whilst for project task type work, [Trello](https://trello.com/) might be a better fit for you.

## Custom Fields and Drag and Drop Form-Designer

## TaskPutty is very similar to Trello but

- **Strong support for custom fields** and allows you to define custom data tabs and use a drag-and-drop form designer.
- **Custom Reports** using a report builder.
- **Much more!** Process Designer, drag and drop rules and business logic, email templates...
