Bring back time-estimation hack, please :-)

Hi Asana team!

Until a few weeks ago there was a hack that you could use in time-estimations. The hack calculated time-estimations that were added to a task with [number]. (For instance “Do this [2]”).

This hack was very useful when planning out a sprint. So it would be great to have the hack enabled again. Or, if you have a better solution to use time-estimations in tasks, for sprint planning purposes, that would be great as well.

Thanks!

Hi @Twan_Bunnik, that hack is gone, it’s correct. However, there is replacement - Custom Fields. You can create “Estimate” as one of your (number) custom fields. Once you select multiple tasks, number fields will show you total like hack used to.

You should have documented this before, HAHA. Nice, thank you!

I used to use this hack every day to estimate the time of all the tasks on my daily to-do list. It doesn’t seem I can do that with custom fields, because my personal to-dos usually belong to different projects (or no project at all).

Any chance of bringing the hack back?
