Advanced packing list management

Technical Positioning
Comprehensive trip preparation, multi-user collaboration, practical travel logistics.
SaaS Insight & Market Implications
This feature request outlines a comprehensive overhaul for TREK's packing list functionality, moving beyond basic itemization to sophisticated, multi-user, and logistics-aware management. Key improvements like user-linked bags, multi-bag item allocation, and weight tracking directly address real-world travel complexities, particularly for group trips or airline restrictions. The demand for independent user checkboxes for shared items indicates a need for granular collaborative control. Implementing these features would significantly enhance TREK's utility as a collaborative travel planner, differentiating it by offering practical, detailed preparation tools that directly impact user experience and reduce travel friction.

Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request

Source Icon GitHub Issue Mar 30, 2026
Repo: mauriceboe/TREK
[FEATURE] Packing List Improvements

Bags in Packing lists should be improved:

- [ ] Renaming bags
- [ ] Bag type (backpack, suitcase, wallet,... maybe this could be customisable with custom icon support)
- [ ] Bags linked to users (so that you know which bag, belongs to which user)
- [ ] Single packing item ability to be located in multiple bags
- [ ] Bag weight (for airlines the limits are bag included. So if bag weighs 1.5 kg that would be accounted for)
- [ ] If there are two bags for example. Bag A belongs to user 1, and bag B belongs to user 2. There is an item X that is allocated to bag A and B. Now each user has an indeoendant checkbox so that each user has his own packing list. For example T-shirt is an itemcthst each user should pack for themselves in their own bag.

Developer Debate & Comments

I would also add a possible optimization for the packing list: with version 2.7.1 i can import directly from the trip page, using a external csv. Once i create the list in the trip i cannot move it to another one. I can create a template and use it wherever, but it will be a manual insert for all the data. Changes proposed, that could be mutually exclusive: - include a way to make a template from a already created packing list - include the import feature also in the templating page I don't know if those will require a complete rework of the function, I'm happy anyway with how it's been evolving :)

Also to add on to this feature request, it would be nice to have private and public categories. This would allow all users in the trip to be able to add to both a hidden list that only they can see for more personal items (personal hygiene, medications) as well as contribute to public lists (food, games, equipment). I think utilizing the existing user selection functionality would be great so you can have a private category that is shared with the selected users (good for couples or friends sharing things), and then the public category that is shared with everyone.

Currently, packing list items only support a single weight field (likely total weight). There's no way to specify a **quantity of items** and their **unit weight separately**, which limits accurate tracking for multiples. Best regards,
