Overview

This document explains how to configure configure custom fields that will be collected for privacy requests.

Enable custom fields

To enable custom fields for privacy requests, please add following section to your fides.toml file:

allow_custom_privacy_request_field_collection = true
allow_custom_privacy_request_fields_in_request_execution = true

• A label
• Whether or not the field is required for submission (defaults to true)
• A default_value to pre-populate the field with a value
• A hidden attribute to control whether or not the field is displayed in the privacy request form

Below is an example for adding the following 3 fields: First name, Last name, and a hidden field called Tenant ID.

  "first_name": {
    "label": "First name",
  },
  "last_name": {
    "label": "Last name",
    "required": false
  },
  "tenant_id": {
    "label": "Tenant ID",
    "hidden": true,
    "default_value": "123"
  }
}
