RE. Referenced App fields: Custom numbers/quantities

Within an App which has several fields which Reference to other App’s allowing selection of multiple items, I would like to be able to enter a individual quantity next to each referenced item I select from the Reference App... i.e. 2 (custom no.) Laptops (referenced item), 5 Terminals, 5 Screens etc.

My feature request is for a way to be able to enter a custom number for quantity, in brackets for example, which would distinguish the number from an item name and therefore not pulling up the reference item. I could then enter the item name into field to bring up the relevant item from the Referenced App and selecting it. This process would follow for each further item I wish to enter in this field.

I do a lot of exporting to Excel for further data work, which is a feature I find extremely helpful.
However currently when I export the data from this App into Excel, I then have to manually enter the relevant quantities against each item in Excel. In addition so I can have a record of these vital custom quantities in Podio, I then manually type this info in a Notes field for each entry in the App.

I hope other users will find this of benefit too.
Thanks.
