Please allow colums to have data types

Project:Mori
Version:1.1.2
Component:Code
Category:feature
Priority:normal
Assigned:Unassigned
Status:closed

Description

Mori's flexibility would be greatly increased if the colums were allowed pre-defined types. Text is nice, but to be able to make smart folders based on columns of specific types would be very powerful.

A smart folder with items to be completed in the next n-days for instance. Or a folder where all items with a priority higher than "Medium".

Proposed types:

  • Date with time. (No time specified would mean 0:00). Perhaps using a pop-up UI like in the Time/Date prefs panel.
  • User created lists of column values with the UI prefs list representing the sort order. This would require a "move-up/move-down" UI element in the prefs to allow users to change the sort order.
    • Priority - Numeric or localized text (High, Medium, Low)
    • Category
    • Context
    • Project
    • Holiday
    • Vehicle
    • Calander Quarter
    • Fiscal Quarter
    • any user defined grouping of categories for organizing items.

This is in the works. The model layer already supports these features, there just isn't any UI to access them yet.

This is now possible in Mori 1.2. For specific editors for those data types (such as popup list of values) please submit a new issue.
