Marrying up existing "Notions" records into "Shopping List" + filtering the list by "Shop

Following on from @KikiAn_diy’s post (My idea for saving a sewing related shopping list in Stash Hub app) about their way of managing their notions-to-buy list :memo::blush::+1:t3: (so that they know what to buy from a single shop all together & thus save on delivery costs & time).

In the existing “Shopping List” area of the app we can already view by “Type” (Fabric, Pattern, Notion), “All Projects” + “Project Queue”. But, @TheWizard I wonder :thought_balloon: :thinking: provided that someone had already saved an individual Notion record as…

a.) linked to a given Project,

and also b.) typed & saved that Notion record with a Shop (into the “Shop” field)

… if it might be handy for users to be able to filter/view the “Shopping List” by “Shop”… so that they could easily remember to buy multiple things in a single purchase + save £ on shipping fees :smiling_face::red_question_mark:

That, then makes me wonder if for saving/editing “Notions” records themselves if there could be some sort of button to add-to-shopping-list (to marry up existing Notions records to Shopping List), and similarly… if within the existing “Shopping List” area when we use the :plus: button it could (in addition to the :plus: button’s current functionality) suggest to add a record from existing Notion records?

@ClaireSews I second this!
I would also find it really useful to link existing records with all the record data onto the shopping list instead of just text. Especially when needing to restock previously bought items. Of course free text option is also useful in shopping list for those items which can be bought from several locations.

(And of course I understand that the idea is not to make Stash Hub a new ERP system, even though my corporate-brainwashed mind seems to constantly think about it as such :face_with_hand_over_mouth: )

Interesting idea! I can see how this applies to Notions in particular as there any many types that one buys over and over again. I will definitely consider this.
