I was wondering if Affinity Designer could add a feature that makes the ends of lines rounded.

I looked for a post on how to create rounded edges, but I wasn't able to find a post on how to round the edge of the line drawn below. Is there a way to make the edge of the line below rounded in Affinity Designer? If not, could it be added as a feature?

Thank you for considering this!

In other words, if everything else fails, RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) ;)

Can you upload the file?

That's the culprit:

Either reset the pressure to have round caps on a simple path, or convert the path to outline = closed path, and use the Corner Tool to make the corners round.
