Long duration tasks
How can I add a task that will e.g. take 30 hours (so the task needs to be spread over several days)?
Adding 30hrs duration to a task makes the daily committed hours >30hrs
Using repeat tasks, setting each to a breakdown or the 30 hours doesn't work entirely either, as the e.g. sub-tasks do not get repeated (known issue).

Hi Ana
I am a software developer and have some tasks that will take several days to complete. So, e.g. I will be working on a push-pull interface between two disparate databases – I want to commit time to the task each day, say, 4 hours. The actual task duration is 40 hours. I would like to track effort against this task. The task also has various subtasks that I need to achieve.
I don’t want my e.g. daily committed time to be 48 hours, I would like to have the committed time split up over several days.
The work around I’ve found for now is to create the task as a repeat task, assigning a lower effort e.g. 4hrs to each repeat. The problem with this is that I lose the subtasks and related info. The management of these repeated tasks also becomes a bit cumbersome.
Kind regards,
Glenn
