QField Feature Requests

Basically, this idea explains exactly what I'm looking for, but is only works for Value Map: https://ideas.qfield.org/app-feature-requests/p/radiobutton-instead-of-dropdown-list I would like it to apply to Value Relations. We use hundreds of those and they provide a more robust way to create standardized forms, and this would help accelerate field work!

When using a custom sorting by a specific column by the "key column" in QGIS desktop this sorting is not transferred to QField. Value relation seems to always be sorted by default value. We would like it to follow the settings as added in QGIS Desktop.

In QGIS, you can select a number of column to which the multiples selections in a form can be divided. While this works decently in QGIS, it simply doesn't translate in QField. It would be interesting to have this, especially for large choices selection.

### Feature Request: Fixed Map Scale and Printing Layout Support in QField #### Summary It would be very helpful if QField supported fixed map scale (e.g. 1:5000, 1.2000,...) display and allowed exporting or printing map images with accurate scale directly from the device. This feature is essential for forestry, surveying, and land-use planning professionals working in the field. #### Problem Currently, QField allows navigation and data collection, but: It does not show the current map scale clearly. It does not allow locking or fixing the map scale (like QGIS layout mode). There is no built-in functionality to export a map layout or screenshot at a known scale for reporting or printing. As a result, users must return to QGIS desktop to generate any printable, scaled map – which reduces QField’s field autonomy. #### Proposed Solution Add an option to display the current map scale on the interface (e.g. 1:5000). Allow locking a map scale so that users can pan without zooming, maintaining scale integrity. Option to export the current view as a scaled image (PDF or PNG) with metadata or a small layout frame (optional). #### Use Case In forestry projects, field users need to capture maps at fixed scale (e.g. 1:5000 or 1:10000) to: Verify boundaries Document fieldwork Submit reports to authorities Having this directly in QField reduces office work and increases data accuracy and efficiency. #### Environment QField version: [ 3.2.0] Android version: [Android 12] Thank you for this amazing app! Looking forward to your feedback.

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!

As a proponent of aletrnativ app stores, I want to access QField through F-Droid for its commitment to Free Software, privacy, and secure, unrestricted app distribution. (source: https://github.com/opengisch/QField/discussions/2706 )

We would like to store Photos from a QField project directly to a server using WebDAV. This works fine in QGIS, but we need the same functionality in Qfield. If there would be an option in future to do this in QField the same way, that would be a big help for us.

I would like to request a new feature in QField where, after each synchronization with QFC, a notification popup appears. This popup should display important notes from the previous user, such as anomalies, special observations, or instructions for the next person working on the project. The message should be editable directly within QField, without requiring a separate sync with the local QGIS project via QFieldCloud. This would greatly enhance team communication and streamline the workflow.

Currently Qfield requires files to be copied to 'imported projects'. My group have large base maps which chew up a lot of iPhone storage. Qfield can open files from the cloud when online, why can't it open them from a USB stick offline? Being able to specify any folder kept anywhere on the phone or on an external drive, would allow us to use old iPads with limited storage for example.

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 )
