Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My wife and I have our chores divided up in such a way that for each chore, either I am the owner, she is the owner, or we share ownership. I would like to have separate calendars or dashboards in Home Assistant for both of us to track our individual chore responsibilities. However, Chore Helper does not currently provide a way to do this.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd propose adding an optional field called "Owners" to the chore sensor type, which would take a list of chore owners. This field could then be used when filtering lists of chores to create separate calendars or dashboards for each person.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't believe there is currently any feature of Chore Helper that could be used to accomplish this.

Additional context

If this feature idea is approved, I'd be willing to work on implementing it.

Great idea, thank you for the request! I agree this should be a feature. It's in the plans, but knowing people want it helps me prioritize it.

fantastic, this is exactly what I am searching. I try to replicate an app callesd „flatastic“. It is developed with lots of other stuff for households (grocery, money, etc) but one side is the „chores“ page.
Here you can create different tasks with a predefined owner. If the task is assigned to more than one, each time the task is completed the owner changes.
Another interesting thing is, when completing the task (checkbox), to specify who has completed.
The reason for this is the scoring system inside. For example if A completes the task which was assigned to B, A gets a point for completing the task i stead of B (its all about motivation ;-)

@DerBauch78, I'm also hoping to eventually have a HA dashboard like you are describing. I hadn't heard of Flatastic before, but their "Chores" page looks pretty similar to what I was envisioning! I'd even thought about a similar points system for motivation. 🙂

I'm not sure if @bmcclure plans to eventually build a dashboard like that or not in ha-chore-helper, but even if not, the "Owners" feature described in this issue should at least enable a similar dashboard to be built on top of it.

+1 for that feature.

Also, related to that, it could be nice to keep track of who executed the "last completed" task..

I am searching for option like this in HA for years now. I would really appreciate this feature.
I did something similar by creating person, date, chore and complete button entities for each chore, but it was extra messy and too much work to add/modify chores, so I just trashed everything :)
