QField Feature Requests

For the monitoring of plant life we would like in QField to access a dropdown list of all species. This dropdown should be searchable and allow multiple selection (as possible in QGIS).

As a GIS specialist, I want to be able to create a new project in the QField app to streamline project management. (source: https://github.com/opengisch/QField/issues/5823 )

The feature I believe is called COGO calculation. Essentially, this entails computing or calculating from a baseline using distance and offset parameters. The baseline itself can be established through previously collected points or temporary points. A Laser Rangefinder would be paired via Bluetooth, then, a baseline or reference point is defined using either internal or external GPS. Subsequently, points and polygons relative to this reference point can be measured. This offers the advantage of measuring points and objects beyond physical reach, and would be, in my opinion, a great feature to have in QField.

Add function of setting up user-agent.

I would like to request a feature that allows adding a watermark to photos taken within QField. Specifically, the watermark text should be dynamically sourced from a field in a selected layer. For example, when collecting a point feature and manually entering a sample name in a designated field, the photo taken at that point should automatically include the sample name as a watermark. This feature would be highly useful for field data collection, ensuring that captured images are clearly associated with their respective data entries. Would this be possible to implement? Thank you for considering this request!

In QGIS attribute forms it is possible to hide a label by unchecking the tickbox, however in Qfield this has no effect and labels are always shown. It would be very useful to hide labels in certain case uses and also make the Override label colour feature work.

While exploring ways to develop QField extensions, I noticed there are no direct functions exposed to QML for reading and writing file content. This makes certain common operations difficult to implement, such as: Reading file content to send via POST requests to APIs Storing local data when offline Implementing custom file-based caching mechanisms Processing local files directly in QML extensions I've looked through the codebase, particularly FileUtils, PlatformUtilities, and QFieldCloudConnection, but couldn't find any functions that directly expose file content reading/writing to QML. Proposed Solution Add three utility functions to FileUtils that would allow QML extensions to read, write, and get information about file content: https://gist.github.com/t-book/83488fcf3ff8a97d5cba70846d36e799 The getFileInfo function is useful as it provides a comprehensive way to get file metadata along with content in a single call, saving multiple file accesses when both content and metadata are needed. Additionally test cases to ensure the functions work correctly could be added: https://gist.github.com/t-book/5b7fdad8198c182c95a8e054b4e58a9b If I've missed existing implementations, I apologize and would appreciate being pointed to them. Further I've prepared these functions based on studying the codebase, but since I've had issues with my local build environment, they remain untested in a running QField instance - I would appreciate any feedback if there are better approaches within the QField architecture. Would a PR adding these utility functions be welcome? I believe they would significantly enhance the capabilities of QField extensions without adding much complexity to the codebase.

As an iOS user, I would like an option to connect to external GPS receivers via Bluetooth the way you can with Android devices. There is currently only an option to connect via TCP or UDP.

As a QField user, I want to have the ability to set up a project with dynamic aliases in QField, So that the alias of one field automatically changes based on the value of another field.
