## Custom Fields {#custom-fields}
Paperless allows the addition of custom fields to be attached to documents, allowing a user
to optionally include additional data which does not fit in the existing set of metadata
Paperless provides.
First, the user creates a custom field, with a given name and data type. This could be
something like "Invoice Number", with a data type of "Number". This allows
reuse of the same name and data type, obviating the need to type the same name again and
again, instead selecting.
Next. the field may be used with a particular document and custom data stored. The data
stored is required to match the chosen data type for the field.
Multiple fields may be attached to a document. The same field name cannot be assigned multiple
times to a document, so you cannot use "Invoice Number" twice **on the same document**.
!!! note
Once the data type for a field is set, it cannot be changed again.
