Challenge creators and moderators often find themselves in situations where they need to modify or refine text labels and help texts. Adjusting these elements can significantly improve guidance for submitters, leading to more precise and relevant submissions.
Now, System and Subsystem administrators have the capability to define certain fields as flexible. This means challenge creators and managers can adjust the labels and help texts of these fields directly through the challenge settings. This flexibility extends to fields of types such as Text, Number, Date, Link, and User. We suggest naming these fields in a manner that indicates their flexibility, such as "Flexible Text Field #1" or "Adjustable Numeric Field #1", etc. This article is geared towards challenge creators and managers, outlining how to leverage this new capability.
