Add tracking of text-based metrics, e.g. mood, location
The current numeric scale for biometrics can't be effectively used to track text-based metrics like mood or location - mood is much more complex that a number scale. With this type of tracking added, it would be much easier to help identify patterns in those metrics. This would be incredibly valuable for people using Cronometer as a food diary to help understand and change eating patterns through CBT or other interventions.
Logging these things can be done through notes, but they have no tracking element and baked-in tracking would be much faster as well.
Thanks for considering it!

Thanks for the suggestion! Others have asked for this as well and we hope to create a more robust tracking system for descriptive items such as mental health!

Thanks!

Yes - since users are already "journaling" food and supplement intake Cronometer is the most logical place to journal other things like alergic reactions, mood, etc. Right now I have to relog information that I've already entered in cronometer as I try to determine what is causing digestive issues in my new way of eating/supplements.

Hi @PeggiD Gold users can track custom biometrics! You can learn more about how to create and use a custom biometric here: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018302431-Add-a-Biometric#h_30543727541545257369067

Similar request, I have water retention in my legs due to low albumin/protein so would like to track visually the "swellingness" like low, medium or high but Cronometer won't accept words. I understand that it's better for me to use numerical values like 1, 2 or 3 to make my own scale so that Cronometer can display this custom biometric on a chart.
