Maybe it's just my inner monk... but I'd love to see options like phone number, email address, etc. that I can select for properties like person or company. I just love it when there is a prescribed field and format like with forms.
I also have a large amount of books and other items that I would like to save the price I paid for them.
Maybe you can help my monk who is addicted to databases, evaluations and statistics ;-)

And years, currently if you enter 2024 it would format as "2,024" which looks just weird.

Agus Lobster Yes I wanted a 'year of publication' field and I ended up having to use a date field instead. Problem is, a lot of academic publications don't have an exact date, so I often have to approximate at 01/01/YYYY or 01/MM/YYYY depending on if I have a publication month or not.

This is actually pretty important if you want to gain new users. Currently there is just no way to even know it's not available and is something that should be. New users, like myself, will be left searching thinking "this is so basic, it's got to be in there" only to find it's not. That "tel:" should show up somewhere in a pop up help note or something. I just spent a bunch of time searching for it thinking this thing is so advanced and that feature is so basic, they couldn't have possibly left that out, and yet they did.

Oh, I forgot to mention number formats like isbn

Thanks for opening. For now you could use a text property and add a link with tel:0123456 to it.
