Improve Task Roll Up

Currently locus is only considering 3 fields when considering if it should roll up the task or not (robotid, toteid, and itemno). The request is to create a configurable value that will be considered for rollup. The use case here is a customer that picks both eaches and cartons. The customer will often send this information in a custom field. If we leveraged that custom field to decide if it should be rolled up or not it would allow the customer to leverage task rollup but still have eaches and cartons picked as separate lines from the robot UI perspective.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

This can make certain customers utilizing Task Roll Up more productive

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity
