QField Feature Requests

As QGIS project creator, Bellow is the current Workflow : You build Projects in QGIS desktop. YOU export it via QField Sync Plugin as Offline package or QField Cloud server package. Users access Projects through QField App (available on both mobile and desktop). The fact is that most users are not field collector. QFIELD can be used also as a simple solution to deploy projects, if you want less experienced people to work on it. IT's simple to explain and to take hand on. But with the capability to open different projects, it's sometime difficult to manage what users can do. The default project, and open defaut project when starting are not enough even they are very usefull in that point. But a more effective solution can be explored. I mean some config that will give the capability to creators to share their projects as application/sofware. Proposed Enhancements: SHARING PROJECTS AS APP/SOFTWARE Customizable QField App: Server Connection : Allow creators to personalize the app to connect to a specific server and load a designated project by default, removing the possibility for users to change the server or project. Graphical Customization : Enable creators to customize the app’s graphical interface, including: Logos Colors Fonts Other basic visual elements Transformative Application Creation : App/Software Builders**: Enable QGIS/QField creators to develop comprehensive applications or software for individual projects. This extends beyond sharing simple projects, allowing for a more robust and interactive experience. Dedicated Project Apps: Each project can be shared as a dedicated application, tailored specifically to its unique requirements and functionalities. Enhanced Functionalities: Custom Tools & Plugins: Incorporate project-specific tools and plugins within the application. User Permissions: Set different levels of access and permissions for users, ensuring data security and role-specific functionality. interactive Elements: Add interactive elements like forms, surveys, and real-time data collection capabilities. #### Benefits: Empowering Creators**: Transform QGIS/QField creators into app/software builders, enhancing their ability to deliver tailored, comprehensive solutions. Consistency and Branding**: Ensure users interact with a consistent interface, aligning with the creator’s branding and design preferences. Streamlined User Experience**: Simplify the user experience by automatically connecting to the appropriate server and loading the intended project, reducing user error and confusion. Enhanced Professionalism**: Present a polished, professional interface that reflects the creator's identity and enhances user engagement. --- With these advanced capabilities, QField would become an even more powerful tool for creating specialized applications, significantly enhancing the scope and impact of each project. This could revolutionize how geospatial data is shared and utilized, making it more accessible and customized to the needs of various stakeholders. If you need any further refinements or additional ideas, feel free to reach out!

As a QField user, I want to use the reshaping tool to modify polygons in a topological layer, ensuring that when I adjust one polygon, it gains or loses area accurately from adjacent polygons, just as it does in QGis, so that topology is preserved.

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).

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.

As a QField user working with Forest Land Use maps, I want the ability to filter entities on a layer so that I can display only those entities that meet specific criteria, such as representing forests older than 20 years.

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.

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 )

Sometimes we need to just record date or just record time. ANd also sometime be able to increment say every 5 min. There is a Calendar popup but in QGIS you only ever get the calendar, and in QField you get both the calendar and the time but have no control if you just require hours/minutes. Also being to increment by for example 5 min steps would be useful.

As a QField user, I want the ability to modify the sorting order of child features, so that I have the flexibility to switch from the default ascending order to descending order.

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 )
