Hi!
I'd like to create a process diagram with swimlanes. I would like each activity box in the diagram to contain the same set of custom data fields for analysis (such as who is responsible for performing that activity, what systems are used for performing the activity, what problems exist for that activity, etc)-- is this possible?
Best,
Marisa

hi
At the moment, Miro doesn’t support adding custom data fields directly to objects like activity boxes in a diagram. However, you can use sticky notes, comments, or tags to capture similar contextual details, or link supporting documentation for deeper analysis.
If this is something you’d like to see in the future, I recommend adding it to our Wish List so the product team can review it for upcoming updates: https://community.miro.com/community-welcome-guide-14/wish-list-everything-you-need-to-know-1099
If my understanding of your use case is incomplete, could you please share an example or screenshot of what you’re trying to achieve? That way I can test it on my end and suggest the closest available workaround.

Thank you for your reply, Eca
Almost like how there is the Info for each object, stating who created and modified that object, I want the ability to store my own customized list of attributes (~15 attributes) related to that object (in this case, an activity in a process). And I want that same standardized list of attributes to be used across the board wherever that customized object is used.
Specifically, I need this for process mapping. So, for each activity box listed in a process map, I want to be able to input those details so that I can analyze what systems, inputs, or problems exist across the entire process on the process diagram itself.
I’m not seeing tags as an option in the flowchart I created, they seem to exist for sticky notes though. Also some attributes, like activity description and problem, might be a bit descriptive and too long to fit on top of that object.
Thank you
