Just discovered Miro and was very excited about it’s novel approach to project collaboration until i discovered that Miro cards do not support custom fields making them little more than sticky notes. So I searched for this feature and found several threads asking for this feature as far back as year and none of them had a response from the Miro team. Adding custom fields to cards is supported by all project tools that i have worked with (and it’s not a small number). The lack of this feature is rather a serious oversight. The lack of the team response is a serious red flag. So i’m wondering what’s the community’s general experience with how responsive Miro team is to other issues / bugs.
Hi
What many seem to forget though is the fact that Miro is very versatile; it is not a "project tool” in the same sense as ClickUp or Favro or Jira – who all specializes in project management – but it can be used as such thanks to its versatility.
Since joining this community, I've lost count on how many times I've seen "the lack of this feature is rather a serious oversight” statements. I would say that the serious oversight is rather the failure to see the simply fact that Miro is an online collaboration tool with many different areas of usage, and therefore a complexity in features and how they evolve.

Thank you Henrik for sharing your thoughts. I’ve actually recognized and fully appreciated the power of Miro’s collaboration tools from the second i looked through the features. What concerns me is a reliable traceability between the collaboration space and the work tracking space, which is a must-have feature for any project of sufficient complexity. Not being able to setup that traceability (using custom fields on the cards) is a show-stopper for my adoption of Miro. Judging by the threads i found i’m not the only one. I really would love to use Miro for the reasons you’ve listed but cannot in its current state. Hence trying to find out if the Miro team is even aware of this problem and how close that feature is to reality.
What I’m trying to say is that “synchronizing” between teams is not dependent of tools. The only dependency is communication and collaboration. How that happens is secondary. If you depend on tools for that, I’d say the organization has serious issues that needs to be addressed.
