Speaking in taskjuggler syntax it would be as follows: task alpha "Alpha Test" { effort 1w depends !!software allocate test, dev2 note "Hopefully most bugs will be found and fixed here." journalentry 2002-03-01 "Contract with Peter not yet signed" { author boss alert red summary -8<- The paperwork is stuck with HR and I can't hunt it down. ->8- details -8<- If we don't get the contract closed within the next week, the start of the testing is at risk. ->8- } } AFAIK the org-mode taskjuggler exporter was previously able to handle this if given the following headline: * task :PROPERTIES: :Effort: 1w :depends: software :allocate: test dev2 :note: "Hopefully most bugs will be found and fixed here." :journalentry: 2002-03-01 "Contract with Peter not yet signed" { author boss alert red summary -8<- The paperwork is stuck with HR and I can't hunt it down. ->8- details -8<- If we don't get the contract closed within the next week, the start of the testing is at risk. ->8- } :END: Oh, and btw: there can be more than one journalentry. So, given this taskjuggler feature is not very often used and drawer machinery is not really suited for this use case I suggest we just drop support for it. Maybe the user can just squeeze the whole entry on one line interspersed with \ns.
