Hello, Please consider adding advanced functionality to the layouts and fields creator to account for projects that use roll-up functionality.

Hello, I am hoping Zoho can give me some advice on the best way to accomplish something in Zoho Projects. Please see attachment. In Microsoft Project it is possible to split a task into different time periods. This need is common in the construction industry. As far as I can see the closest approximation of being able to split a task in Zoho Projects is to create a recurring task. The challenge with using recurring tasks instead of splits is we don't know in advance how a task needs to be split,Countdown timer for work Hours
We start to use timers and I think that a manager should be able to se a task as a countdown timer. This means that the estimated work hours should be used as clock ticking and the owner should accept that this is the time to complete his work. This will increase productivity dramatically and also wont let users forget other tasks in the pipeline. I am constantly spending more time on tasks to optimize the result but an hour MORE on a task means an hour LESS on another. A perfect result is nice butCustomize Column in Projects - Default View for Template?
Is there a way to have the columns you'd like to see added to a template? I want my customized columns to show up every single time I create a project from that template. It appears I can customize them in the template but when I create the project they do not transfer over. Template: See below how the columns in order are : Task, Owner, Status, Assigned, Website URL, Blog H1..etc. When I create a project from that same template it comes out as: Task, Owner, Status, Tags, Start Date, End Date, etcAssign tasks to users from the Resource Utilization chart

Use Case: We try to make the order of our tasks and subtasks represent the order in which tasks should be done. I have a situation where we need to add a subtask to an existing Task List. When I do, the subtask is added to the end of the list of subtasks. However, I need to reorder my subtasks so that it's higher in the list instead of at the bottom.
