[boCyrill]

Hi All,
Am a PHP developper but am newbee to espocrm
Please I would like to know how I can make the color chooser field type selectable for a module where show in the image.
When I look into the source code I can see that this field type is already implemented but it is not selectable.

Hi,

Check https://docs.espocrm.com/development/custom-field-type/

You need to define it in metadata. Set view of the actual view file for the colorpicker field. 'views/fields/colorpicker'.
