🔖 Feature description

I would like to add some field that can be calculated by a formula applying on the different properties of a task (title, due, start, schedule, today etc...). The main usecase would be to have a custom urgency that better fit what I feel is urgent to me. For example in my model each day passing after start date adds a set amount of urgency, then each day after schedule date adds more, each day after due date adds a lot more, and play with priorities as multipliers of those scores.

The current urgency value is just usable for urgency and all values and logic are set for me, the result is an ordering that doesn't really suit my own needs. I think urgency to be a very personal concept and it would be nice to be able to customize how it is calculated.

A custom formula would also make it so different queries could have their own formula.

✔️ Solution

Calculated field or customizable urgency values and formula.

Thank you for the suggestion.

The following exciting request is relevant, but is a lot of work and unlikely to happen soon:

• Introduce a new customisable score property, allowing any number of user-named algorithms. #1162

Some work that will come out of the following is likely to make what you request more feasible:

• feat: Group by functions #1421

But I cannot promise on timescales

I've just seen that this is equivalent to the earlier #1479, so am closing this as a duplicate.

Please subscribe to that other issue, for updates. Thanks.
