I think the issue is different. Org Duration is strict about what it is fed with (which is good). Effort property expects a duration as value. But "3-8" is not a valid duration. However, "3" is a valid duration; it means 3 minutes. Maybe Effort property should simply accept a duration or a duration range. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
