I've have a need to create a task which is made up of sub-tasks. Each sub-task in turn has actions which comprise it. Each action, I'd like it to have a checkbox so that the sub-task can track percent complete. Like so: * Sub-Task [66%] - [X] Action 1 - [ ] Action 2 - [X] Action 3 Once the sub-task is complete, I can set it's TODO label: * COMPLETED Sub-Task [100%] - 2008/08/08 17:33:00 This is already how Org-mode works obviously. My question/request is this: is there a way to also track completeness via percentages for the sub-tasks (headings)? So I would have/see the following: * Primary Task [65%] * COMPLETED Sub-Task 1 [100%] - 2008/08/08 17:33:00... * Sub-Task 2 [24%]... * Sub-Task 3 [72%]... The primary task percent would be based on 3 sub-tasks of equal weight, so: (1*.33) + (.24*.33) + (.72*.33) = 65% I'd even be willing to settle for a primary task percent of just 33% since only 1 sub-task is completed. Any ideas? Is something like this possible? -- ------ Gershman, David A.
