Custom Property List Limit

Planned

I've accumulated a Sub-Division list of about 5,000 entries over the years, and it was imported into zzTakeoff when we started using it. Since custom properties now seem to be capped at 1,000 entries, I can no longer maintain or expand the list.


While I've been able to work around it, not being able to tailor the list to a project's spec book creates extra effort after the takeoff is complete.


I'd like to request consideration of:


  • Increasing or removing the 1,000-entry limit for custom properties.
  • Making it easier to add, edit, or manage custom property entries during the takeoff process.
  • Ability to natively nest custom properties or inherit one based on another (e.g, Sub-Division: 03 31 00 Structural Concrete would automatically be assigned Division: 03 00 00 Concrete).


Here's an example of our work breakdown structure (we do full scope QTO & estimating):



This helps us keep our takeoff organized, tidy, and easier to export to our estimating solution.


Thank you for considering the feedback.

Hi Victor. Thanks for the feedback. We're working on a way to have the dropdown values for custom properties load from lists. Once we do that, the ability to manage the values will be a lot easier (with much higher limits).
