How can I mark quotes as declined and track cancellation reasons in Jobber?

There may be a solution so let me know.

Short version: send out a quote. customer declines. I would like to mark it declined. Not a big deal but archived, is declined but means more to me its just been sitting there forever. I know silly and not a deal breaker its a stupid word association

BUT MORE SERIOUS: i would like to be able to mark why it was declined. (price, going with a different person, doing it themselves whatever.) that way i can track patterns either holistically or individual customers. As a solo guy i know most of it, but once my office staff starts, and gets into here, it would be hard to tell what the right hand is doing sort of thing.

on that note and most important. Recurring work or any work. If we cancel a job or a service. it should show as canceled. not just disappear. And it should have the option (and also a way to force that as well when multiple crews are out) to mark WHY. That way everyone knows who canceled the service, and why. Helps keep people accountable. and keep track of what is happening.

    For declines, manually adding it to the quote name so it shows up under the quote number (god forbid the they each have their own columns) and a note in the quote for the reason is all I can think of.  

    The closer you look at some of the core features, the more limited you realize they are. These are all good examples of that.  Considering the product is over 15 years old, one gets the feeling that expanding the basic features is not a priority.

      Very much so. I came from yardbook. I liked the ability to put picture lines in the quotes. the client hub and two way texting in the app so everything was together. (the dashboard is nice as it automated the sales process for me a bit as a solo guy). but for $300 (to get the texting and the campaigns which is basically mailchimp) its a high price to pay when i could get basically the I NEED THIS TO DO THE JOB features for around $100. it would create a bit more admin work, but seriously im considering it.
