Hi all —
Been through some rough family time and I worry that I may have missed a response to this question. I apologize if that's the case. If not, is there anyone with any insights?
Basically, I'm just looking for a way to narrow the scope of the clock total to the current iteration of task, in the context of the column view of the agenda. Comparing effort to total doesn't make a lot of sense if the former is an estimate per iteration and the latter is an total over all iterations.
At least not to me. There's always the likelihood that I'm just missing something.

Quite possibly there is an obvious answer in the manual that I've missed and if so, please forgive me. (I have noticed that most of my questions don't, in fact, have such answers though.) I am trying to figure out how to limit the calculation of the clocking total to the latest iteration of a repeating task.

The clock total in this view shows the full total over all iterations of repeating tasks — not helpful for this use case.
