I recently wanted to use org-mode to do some sim= ple calculations where estimate values would hierarchically bubble up a tre= e, in a similar way to checkbox percentages e.g.


* Total Effort [110]
** Task 1 [45]
*** = Task 1.1 [20]
*** Task 1.2 [10]
*** Tas= k 1.3 [15]
*** Task 1.4 [10]
** Task 2= [65]

Non leaf nodes would have their values automatically up= dated on a C-c C-c to the sum of their children. =A0Is there a way of doing= something similar to this at the moment? =A0Maybe with property drawers or= otherwise? =A0
