Time Estimates are used to calculate Start and Due dates hour-values when you drag and-drop on a calendar - which is convenient.
But, when we have multiple assignees working on a 6 hour task, the time estimate can get crazy when summed. When we then drag this on a calendar, it automatically applies the estimate and creates a mess. This happens a lot when we know the time estimate for all assignees but havent chosen a date.
My only suggestion would be to have a toggle. Otherwise, a separate entry in Time Estimates such as 'Task duration estimate'. solely used for this could be useful (but more coding labour).
Thanks for reading!
