Project Setup and Custom Fields

After YouTrack is running, configure a project with the custom fields that the AI agent pipeline depends on.

What this page covers

  • Creating a YouTrack project
  • Required custom fields: Stage, AI State, Git Repo
  • Configuring field types and allowed values
  • Assigning fields to the project schema

  3. Select a project lead.
