Custom properties should be useable for sorting, grouping and view columns

Business, air gapped v2.2.0 here.

When I create custom properties for tasks I would like to use them as “normal” fields. That means:

  • selectable in the properties for sorting or grouping a view
  • addable as column in a view
  • <… and other possible uses>

Example:

we use a custom property “follow-up date” for tasks. This is not the target date, but a date before in order to talk about the task in a daily, but only if the follow-up date is reached. The result is that we only talk about tasks, where someone thought that something interesting has happened (and set a follow-up date).
So, I want a view ….

  • containing all tasks with a set follow-up date (the field is not mandatory)
  • the follow-up date is displayed in the first view column
  • the tasks are sorted by follow-up date (oldest first)
  • the view is filtered by the tasks where follow-up date < @today (not possible yet, I know. So the sort does the trick)

We’re working on this. Custom properties will be available as columns in the Table layout first, and then we’ll add support for other layouts.

Good to hear - thanks!
