The Org manual (https://orgmode.org/manual/Column-attributes.html) indicates that an Effort property may be entered as a range like "1-10", but if I do that I get the error: org-duration-to-minutes: Invalid duration format: "2-3" Here is the minimal org file to repro: ======================================== #+COLUMNS: %ITEM(Task) %Effort(Estimate){est+} * Table #+BEGIN: columnview :id input
