Custom properties

Overview

This topic explains how to set up and use custom properties in LaunchDarkly.

If you’re building an integration for LaunchDarkly, it might be helpful to store data for your integration with a LaunchDarkly feature flag. Custom properties allow you to do this.

Each custom property you add to a feature flag can contain a list of associated values. For example, if you create an integration with an issue tracking service, you may want to associate a flag with a list of issues related to a feature’s development.

5. Select Add custom property.
6. Enter the new property type name in the Type field.
7. (Optional) Edit the Key if needed.
8. Enter the Values associated with the custom property.

After you create a custom property, it appears in the right sidebar, under the “Links” section.
