Task Duration / Time Estimation

cvanhenten

I'd like to manage projects created by a template. Each phase has a classical duration (task1: 2 days, task 2: 1w, task 3: 1day,..)

I'd like to have the possibility to create a project from a template with these 3 tasks. So when I create this new project on April 1, I can directly see when task 1 to 3 are planned

Hey there! You can technically do this with a Custom Field now, no?

I can't believe Taskade don't have this yet! They are so far ahead in so many ways, but they don't have a time estimate feature on tasks. So confused as surely it is totally necessary to any project manager to estimate the length of tasks? This is the only thing holding me back from adopting Taskade.

When adding manual time, like:
1d = 1 day
1h = 1 hour
2m = 2 minutes
3s = 3 seconds
.
1h5m15s = 1 hour, 5 minutes, 15 seconds
.

Could I add an Estimation field for the Task.

Please add more details and use cases. Do you see this as an extension of the 'countdown timer' add-on per task?

John at Taskade

Thanks for the feedback cvanhenten - can you clarify on how you would see this feature implemented?
For now we do have a countdown timer, as an add-on, learn more over at https://help.taskade.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408400592787
Are you requesting a way to count tasks up? 
Or do you mean once a task is crossed out and completed, show how long the task remained unchecked?
