Hi anubhavb
Custom fields are possible in Zephyr Enterprise.
They are also searchable and can be used as filter criteria.
Can you describe the full scenario you wish to achieve and I will point you in the right direction
Be it Zephyr Enterprise, Zephyr Scale or Zephyr Squad.
Given some of the verbiage you mentioned executing in Jira and test type I suspect you may be referencing to Zephyr Scale or Squad?
For Squad I would recommend posting here : https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Zephyr-Squad-Questions/bd-p/ZephyrSquad
For Scale I would recommend posting here : https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Zephyr-Scale-Questions/bd-p/ZephyrScale

I'll try to explain further
there is a test case with custom field - 'Test Type' = Automated / Manual [are 2 possible values]
when the test case is added to test cycle there is no way to filter the executions based on 'Test Type'
if there is a way to create a test execution custom filed that is linked to a Test case custom field and gets its value when the test is added to the test cycle then the required filtering will be possible.
hope this explains

Hi anubhavb
Ok I understand your workflow.
So, given this is a Zephyr Enterprise thread, I will explain how this is possible using Zephyr Enterprise.
Using custom fields, when configuring these fields you can declare if they are searchable or not.
https://zephyrdocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ZE/pages/1558438823/Customize+Testcase+Fields
This allows you to built search criteria for use like in custom reports or in your example, test planning and cycle/phase creation.
Now in Zephyr Enterprise, out of the box it differentiates test cases as manual or automated so there is no real need for a custom field.
In otherwords using ZQL you can use "automated = true" for automated test cases or "automated = false" for manual when building up a searchable query.
This will provide you with what you need.
Again if you are not using Zephyr Enterprise check out the relevant community threads I pointed to in my initial post.
Hope the above helps
