Hi Michael, I think that editing effort estimates in bulk in column view is really the bet way to do it, because then you have an overview over all the tasks and you can add all the missing estimates. However, I can see that occasionally it might be useful just to add a single value. For this, there is now C-c C-x e This will let you enter an effort estimate, with completion if you have allowed values defined. With a numeric prefix argument, like `C-u 5 C-c C-x e', it will directly pick the nth value. In the agenda, the `e' key will also run this command, so in the agenda you can do `5 e' to get the fifth value. HTH - Carsten > > -- Michael > > Michael C.
