Customizable fields for notes (Supertags)
Richard Henrikson
It would be awesome if we could create customizable fields for notes.
For example, I might create a field called "Company" and another field called "Location" and another field called "Status".
These fields could then be manually added to a note, or added to a note template or type by default (for example, if I have a note Template of Company, it could automatically include the fields of "Location", "Industry", "Logo", and "Status").
The value here is that I could the search, sort, and filter by these fields.
I'd also imagine that, when creating a field, you could set its type (text, number, address, image, dropdown, etc.). There might be a library of built-in fields to choose from, or the ability to create your own.
Currently, fields are handled by unstructured bullet points in a note (like adding the company to a line for a Person note). This doesn't allow the kind of searching and filtering I'd like to be able to do.

Tag inheritance would be awesome on Capacities. Tana allows for this.
e.g.
Building > Castle > Brutalistic Castle > Brutalistic Castle in 1800s

I’ve recently come across Tana as well. It seems they have a version of this functionality that lets you associate arbitrary numbers of fields with specific tags. I could see something very similar working well for hashtags in Reflect. Then you could also imagine a tabular view of all your items in that list, with the ability to search, sort, and filter by the columns.
This feature would be pretty massive for being able to really organize similar information and sort through it in a meaningful way for later discovery. Example of Tana's "supertag" functionality: https://help.tana.inc/getting-started-and-overview/introduction-to-supertags.html
