Manage system fields and Tags

Last updated: September 2026

The System Fields and Tags tab in Project Configurations gives you one place to view, add, rename, merge, and delete the values of Feature areas, Test types, and Tags for the current project. Feature areas and Test types are applied to test cases only. Tags can be added to test cases, test suites, test runs, and test results.

requirements

• You need the Project Admin role to manage system field and tag values.
• All changes are scoped to the current project. They do not affect other projects in your account.

Only fields whose values you can manage appear on this tab:

Field	What it is for
Feature areas	Group test cases by the part of the product they cover. Applied to test cases only.
Test types	Classify test cases by the kind of testing they perform. Applied to test cases only.
Tags	Free-form labels for findability and organization. Can be added to test cases, test suites, test runs, and test results.

Other system fields, such as Priority, Status, and Automation Status, drive platform behavior. Their values are preset and do not appear on this tab.

Watch the full flow, then follow the steps below:

View the values of a field

1. Navigate to your Project > Settings > Configurations.
2. Switch to the System Fields and Tags tab.
3. Select a field on the left, for example Tags. The list shows the number of values each field currently has.

The table on the right lists every value of the selected field with its Created at date, Created by user, and Used on, which shows the entities where the value is applied. Use the Search values box to find a specific value in a long list.

Add a value

1. Select the field you want to add a value to.
2. Click + Add value.
3. Enter the new value and save.

The value becomes available immediately when team members classify test cases.

Rename a value

1. Find the value in the table.
2. In the Actions column, click the Rename (pen) icon.
3. Enter the new name and save.

The change propagates to every test case that uses the value, so you do not need to update them one by one.

Merge duplicate values

Merging moves all usages of the selected values into one value, then removes the leftover duplicates. Use it to clean up case variants and typos.

There are two ways to merge:

• Review duplicates. When Katalon True Platform detects values that look like possible duplicates, a banner appears. Click Review duplicates. The dialog lists each group of look-alike values with their usage counts. Select the values to merge, then select or type the value to merge them into, and confirm.
• Merge a single value. In the Actions column of any value, click the Merge icon, then choose the value to merge it into.

Delete a value

1. Find the value in the table.
2. In the Actions column, click the Delete (trash) icon.
3. Confirm the deletion.

If the value is still in use, review the impact before you confirm. When you want to keep the affected test cases classified, merge the value into another one instead of deleting it.

Apply values to test cases

After you curate the value lists, apply them where your team works:

1. Navigate to Tests > Test Cases and open a test case.
2. In the Additional Information panel, use the Feature areas, Test types, and Tags selectors to add or edit values.

The selectors offer the values you manage on the System Fields and Tags tab, so everyone picks from the same clean list.
