Have Time Estimates roll up to parent task when view is set to show subtasks as separate task

Time estimates roll up to the parent task unless you have the view set to show subtasks as separate tasks. Time on the parent task gets listed as 0 when showing as separate tasks which makes data confusing. Can Time estimates still rollup to parent task when view is set to show subtasks as separate tasks?

100% this – when rollup is an option we've turned on, why is ClickUp then turning it off when we didn't ask it to? We need to view all the cards separately in board view, but still need to see the cumulative time spent.
If ClickUp feels it should be separate, make it an option – don't just remove it.
This is particularly important for retainers where all tasks need to roll up into that week's time (a single task used to track all sub tasks – given right now this seems like the only way to approach managing retainer time)

When viewing subtasks as separate, I'd expect to see the total time rolled up on parent (or higher level nested subtasks). But there should be an option to include or exclude the rollup value when calculating the sum of the time estimate column. If trying to plan workload the rolled up time is included, so the time estimates are inflated.
