A question is the foundational building block of the Soal platform. A question is usually submitted by a user not on the data team, to be answered by a user who is a part of the data team (embedded data analysts & scientists included).
Each question has the following fields:

| Requester Team | The team that the requester is assigned to. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Assigned To | Data team member who has been assigned to work on this question. |
| Status | One of: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Resoved |
| Priority | One of: Low, Medium, High, Urgent |
| Created At | The date at which the request was created. The time is according to the UTC time zone. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Resolved At | The date at which the request’s status was most recently set to ‘resolved’. The time is according to the UTC time zone. (This is a system generated field.) |
| Tags | Multiselect between (tags)[/setup/create_tags] that were created by the workspace admin. |
