i use kanboard so i need tasks in another lane to put time on a task… i think the milestone plugin could do this but it needs tweaking… is there any way someone can help me with this? I can compensate as needed ---

I would have a task in a lane, which I would have to receive and add up the estimated time and expenses of other tasks in another lane through the milestone link… sorry for the bad English ---

I need tasks that are a milestone of another to add up the hours spent and estimated in the target task I’m sorry, as I’m a new member, I can’t put photos [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bDbiyf7E6ciGcFqNiaQxVAwkV9Ro-VOq?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bDbiyf7E6ciGcFqNiaQxVAwkV9Ro-VOq?usp=sharing) ---

so, if it is: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/4/48cb08792cf3e71312006607d2e7b1c71c49e14b.png) add up all the spent and estimated time, to the main project it is a milestone of? Would that include any time spent or estimated time within the main project itself? What’s the incentive? ---

Yes, exactly that… it’s just that here in my team, we use one lane as a stage and another is the activities and we need to quantify how much is spent on each stage, so I need you to add all the milestones in addition to the stage ---

Does it need to be exportable information? Or just show up in the Summary panel? ---

I just want it to appear … in this case of the photo the amount that would result would be 5 of hours spent and 3 of estimates, do you understand? ---

your math is wrong if you include the stage. and yes i can do this, once you iron out your details. include the stage or not. also, you never gave an incentive. ---

Ok, I’m done, but just make sure this is correct: (Pink + Pink = Green) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/3/3ab8930d3f91f50fbd7092aa59cda2acfec5b8e6.png) Only works if it “targets milestone”. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/d/d19c89b2c68fd89465dca9e0c8a9cd961bdb257f.png) Does not reciprocate, if it “is a milestone of”, i.e. only works when you open a task that has tasks that “targets milestone” ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/kanboard1/original/2X/a/aade0d51c02bbeb5fb1a3a9fec9b0168bc9d2c33.png) I spent about an hour, so whatever you think that’s worth: > **[Donate to Craig Crosby](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LL3V2BAZWLY4E)** > > Help support Craig Crosby by donating or sharing with your friends.
