Same task over multiple timeslots

Kat

Should be able to work on the same task multiple different time slots over multiple days. 
(Eg. working on an assignment over the course of a week. Maybe I spend 2 hours a day on it. And maybe I have a break in betwen - like I work on it between 9-10 and then have a meeting and come back and work on it at 11-12. 
I should be able to schedule the same task over multiple timeslots. Like Sunsama. (This is the one feature I need that will prevent me from using this app)

Love the idea but you can duplicate the task and then time block. I think having the ability to block it separately is beneficial as you can add expected and actual time to each task.

I do like the idea but it will need to be able to assign the split task either using AI or manually drop the occurrences into the calendar or task list.

Yes this is like a project feature! Would love this. And it shows you progress too and you can say how many hours you might need (similar to story points)

This would really help in integrating with project management apps, which routinely have tasks that take 5/10/20+ hours. BUT it's still nice (and important, I would argue) to be able to check off all your tasks for the day and feel like you have ended the day with a clean slate.
What this means in practice is being able to estimate a task will take 20+ hours total, saying I want to do 2 hours on Tuesday, and then, after managing only to work one hour on the task, being able to tick it off as normal and still see that you have 19 hours left to go.
Solution:
I'd imagine something like a label, but called a "project" or a "goal", and that would track time across a range of tasks linked to it. It can have a due date, and you can see progress and useful statistics. Ultimately I'd like to be able to import tasks from Clickup as projects or goals.

just started using app recently and i would love to see, ability to drag one task to multiple timeslots without it beeing simply moved (so as to be able to for exaple schedule breaks during sessions)

Major +1 on this, this app is perfect other than this 1 element which has been pretty confusing! It feels weird to check off a task as complete when I've only finished 1 session of it.

Any suggested workarounds in the meantime?

That would be awesome!!!

Ooh this feature would be amazing!

Chiming in to echo that this is the one feature that's keeping me from swapping from Sunsama to this app. Really really hoping this will be added soon!

It would be wonderful if sub-task could be calculated too. Sub-tasks are used to show different parts of a big task, it should not be split when we are writing our to-do list. However, since there is no working hour in sub-task, instead there only the working hour of the whole task is calculated. If sub-task can be separately counting the time that consumed, and the task can show daily working hour every day. This would be really awesome.

I struggled with the working working hour too. If I could not finish the assignment on the first day, the task will move to the second day, and summing up the working hour on first day to the second day. Hence, the daily working hour is not accurate. I can only manually duplicate the task every day, to show the real working hour on that day.
