This may be outside the scope of Quire's intentions, but I think having a price tag would be very useful. If a set of tasks costs a certain amount, one could see the total by category, or assignee, etc. It could also be visible on the main list without having to put the price into the item title, since putting it in the description hides that information (plus it is not useful for calculations if I have to go into each item to see its price).
That sounds like a great idea -- custom fields with different calculations options based on type. I think that would solve this request, as long as there are functions for sum/max/min/average/etc. As much as I was only thinking of numerical aggregation, having true custom fields that could do categorical analysis would make it that much better.

@Steven-79 - Great! I will let you know when I have more updates about our Custom Fields feature. As we are working on other priorities right now, I won't be able to promise you when this will be available. Please stay tuned! Thanks!

Hi @Steven-79 - Thank you for your feedback! I will share your suggestion to our team.
It's in our plan to support Custom Fields in the future and it might be a solution to this feature request. You can create a field called 'Price' and enter the price for each task, later, when you group by Assignee, you can probably see the sum. (This is just an idea that I have in mind for this feature, what do you think? Does it fit your need?)
