Hi,

I am starting to use org-mode with taskjuggler and am trying to
implement scenarios. To work with scenarios I need to be able to
provide the scenario parameter values where the scenario differs to
the default plan. For example, using the example from
https://taskjuggler.org/tj3/manual/Day_To_Day_Juggling.html#Tracking_the_Project
there are two scenarios, called "actual" and "test". To apply
different values to show the base scenario/plan, what actually
happened and the test scenario, I would do something like this:

task t "Task" {
  start 2007-05-29
  actual:start 2007-06-03
  test:start 2007-06-07
}

In this example, the original plan was to start on 2007-05-29, the
project actually started on 2007-06-03 and we also get to see what
would have happened if we started on 2007-06-07.

Using org-mode I can use the following to create the task with the
planned start date:

*** Task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :start: 2007-05-29
    :END:

But I haven't been able to add the actual and test scenarios. I need
to be able to add something like:

*** Task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :start: 2007-05-29
    :actual:start: 2007-06-03
    :test:start: 2007-06-07
    :END:

But the actual and test information is ignored, it is not converted in
the tjp file. I have tried adding "actual:start" (without the quotes)
to org-taskjuggler-valid-task-attributes, but that did not work. I
have also tried a similar approach with "effort", but again it is
ignored.

I currently have a hack to get what I want. I add the scenario info as
a comment with a marker and then run a sed script on the resulting tjp
file to replace the comment-markers with \n, like this:

*** Task
    :PROPERTIES:
    :start: 2007-05-29 #@actual:start 2007-06-03 #@test:start 2007-06-07
    :END:

Is there a better way to do this?

David
