Allow renaming priority names (Eisenhower matrix)

Feature Requests

I am a fan of Eisenhower matrix, where I want to change my priorities from “High, Medium, Low, No” to “Important, Urgent”, “Important, Not Urgent”, “Not Important, Urgent”, “Not Important, Not Urgent” and I would love to use priority for that, instead of tags - it is more natural.

    Hopefully Griply uses numerical values in the backend for priorities, instead of literals such as ‘high’ and ‘low’. This would allow to set a preference how to visualize/phrase priority in different ways. I think I would prefer 1-2-3-0 over high-medium-low and certainly above the way to long ‘important, not urgent’ label.

    One other issue I personally have with such phrase-labels is that ‘important’ and ‘not important’ are much more difficult to distinguish, compared to ‘high’ and ‘medium’ or ‘1’ and ‘2’.

    The primary downside with using ‘not important, not urgent’-option is that by default any task will be ‘not important, not urgent’ unless they increase the priority options from 4 (1-3 + empty/none) to 5 (1-4 + empty/none). If they aren’t able to increase the options, I would consider it bad practise to set all new tasks to not important by default.

      That’s a fair comment, I agree. At the same time, if it is rename-able, then it almost doesn’t matter that “not important not urgent” is too long. To me, if I’m not bothered to explicitly rank the task on eisenhower matrix, it is definitely not important and not urgent.
