Task weight or estimated time

[ash1khan]

Oftenly in project management almost all task tied to estimated time to complete the task or some unit value associated to describe how much weight the task has, is it possible to add this feature to task plugin, will significantly help to visualize how much time I am investing in each task while planning up ahead.
Also if possible I can contribute to add this feature to the plugin if moderator gives me signal to do it.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions and offer of help @ash1khan.

Estimated time is already requested in #1649, so to avoid duplicates, it would be helpful for any further discussion to be added there.

Nobody has requested Weight yet. So please do go to Issues -> Create -> Feature Request and fill in the form there with as much information as possible about the motivation, value and intended behaviour as possible.

We can then discuss in both those issues things like what emoji to use in Tasks format, what field name to use in Dataview format, what the search filters would be called, and so on.

If you're still interested after that, then yes please, contributions are welcome.

It would be better to start with one feature, Estimate, and get that to completion first, as others have requested that already.

We have a guide on contributing:

Thanks again for your interest in Tasks.
