Default Total work effort for sub tasks

Hi all. I have a bunch of child tasks that all have a work effort estimate assigned in man days. These all roll into parent tasks that do not have a priority. You can have different priority child tasks within a parent task.



I have created a new text field called 'Priority' and have assigned a number 1, 2 or 3 against each child task.

All I am looking to do is filter on that Priority field and see the total Work Effort of those child priority tasks combined.

I can't currently do this as a child task rolls up into parent task, and so Work Effort reflects the parent task (not assigned a priority) AND the child task (assigned a priority).

Thoughts please!

You'll need to create a group to group by the priority to see the totals. Generally, you don't assign resources (and work) to summary tasks (parent). The parent task should be the sum of the subtasks.
