Hello Org experts,

it seems that the time summing behaviour of columnview dynamic blocks is
different for CLOCKSUM than for EFFORT columns with respect to how the
contributions from sub-headlines are handled. When summing up CLOCKSUM
columns, a parent headline can have its own clocked time, which gets
added to the sum of its sub-items' clocked times to produce its CLOCKSUM
value. When summing up EFFORT columns, any effort a parent headline may
have been manually assigned gets overwritten with the sum of its
sub-items' efforts, however. In the example at the end of this message,
compare the results for tasks A and D. If you change the effort for
either task B or C, and then update the dynamic block, the EFFORT in the
property drawer of task A will get overwritten with the new sum of B's
and C's efforts.

I'd have two questions regarding this:

Does anyone recall the rationale for this different behaviour?

Is there any way to change the summation behaviour for either or both
column types?


I have no preference for either behaviour; they both will have their
merits and applications, depending on how one organises things. I do
think that being able to get the same behaviour would seem advantageous,
however.


Many thanks and looking forward to your thoughts,
