Allow multiple entries for custom ratings and symptoms

🚀Feature Request

Description: Allow multiple time-specific entries for custom ratings and symptoms per day. Labels: multiple symptoms “custom ratings” time granular entries

      • Issue - - - Some users require time-granular recordings of symptoms and custom ratings. For example, with conditions like ADHD or pain, typically medications stop being effective within the same day of taking the medication. Often, doctors/physicians will ask questions around how long medications are effective for, and also may try to see if tolerance is being built. This is problematic, as options like pre/am/mid/pm are not specific enough to judge medication options.
      • Describe the solution you’d like - - -

Provide users the option to add entries for custom ratings and symptoms multiple times a day. This would be a similar implementation as Mood, Meds/Supplements, Energy levels and Bowel Movements. This entry-style should be optional, to allow flexibility for those who are only looking to record a couple times a day.

      • Describe alternatives you’ve considered - - -
  • I have tried adding the things I would generally record as a custom metric as a symptom to allow for multiple recordings of specific symptoms per day. The issue here is that pre/am/mid/pm isn’t specific enough to judge how many hours a medication is effective for.

  • Adding notes to the custom ratings works for recording, but doesn’t display any type of trend analysis which could answer the question “how long is the medication effective for”.

      • Additional Context - - -

“This is problematic, as options like pre/am/mid/pm are not specific enough to judge medication options.” With ADHD medications, often there’s a combination of long-acting and short-acting medication. The long acting medications may last 8-14 hours, and if it’s on the lower end of duration, then a short-acting medication may be required when it’s less effective. Short acting medications are only generally effective for 3-4 hours. If I marked PM symptoms, and the short-acting medication impacts sleep, then there’s a large difference between taking the medication at 6pm vs 8pm in regards to being able to sleep.
