# Custom Properties
This document provides an overview of custom properties, their purpose, and how to define and use them within the system. Custom properties allow users to extend the functionality of the application by adding metadata or attributes specific to their use case. These properties can be configured to suit various business requirements and workflows.

## Usage
Custom properties can be defined in the configuration files or through the user interface. Once defined, they can be accessed and manipulated programmatically or via API endpoints.

Refer to the YAML example below for implementation details and best practices:

## YAML Example

```yaml
# Example of a Custom Property in YAML format

```
