We are using QField to track routes and collect data on certain parts of the route. The routes are not predetermined, we decide in the field which way to go. The tracking layer is a MultiLine-layer. Is it possible to show the distance travelled while tracking a route with the QField app?

I have tried adding a column called “distance” with $length as default value in the Attributes Form (and the "Apply default value on update" box checked), but I can only see the value in the Qfield app when clicking on the tracking line and then on the id, and I need to close this panel and re-open it again to see the updated value. I would prefer to be able to see the value get updated while we are moving, in other words a real-time value.

Or, in the ideal situation, getting an alert (sound or pop-up window) when the distance exceeds a certain number of kilometers.

Any ideas?
