django-helpdesk supports custom fields on the ``Ticket`` model. These fields are created by using the Django administration tool, and are shown on both the public and staff submission forms. You can use most Django field types including text, integer, boolean, and list.
The demo at http://django-helpdesk-demo.herokuapp.com contains an example of each type of custom field, including a mix of mandatory and optional fields.
Custom fields are relatively inefficient; you can search them, but this might degrade performance of your installation if you make use of custom fields. They can be useful for tracking extra information that your organisation needs but that isn't supported out of the box.

Rather than assigning tickets to teams directly, django-helpdesk allows you assign tickets to knowledge-base items and then assign knowledge base items to teams.

Implementing Custom Teams Functionality

If you want to use a different team app or implement your own team based app, you can hook it into Helpdesk using the following 3 settings:
``HELPDESK_TEAMS_MODEL``: point this to the model that defines a team in your custom implementation
``HELPDESK_TEAMS_MIGRATION_DEPENDENCIES``: set this to an array of migration(s) that are required to have run that will ensure the link that will be added as defined in the HELPDESK_TEAMS_MODEL will be available as a model to Helpdesk
