Ability to edit tasks with a duration before scheduling it in the calendar
I just recently discovered that you could create tasks and use "=15m" to set the duration for 15 minutes (or whatever duration you choose) or use Cmd + = while a task is selected, but I would like the ability to edit a task and set its estimated duration BEFORE I schedule it in my calendar using my mouse (i.e. an icon of some sorts).
Noticed that this was possible on the iOS beta (there's a sandclock icon that allows you to edit the duration of a task) and it'd be great to have this on desktop as well.
A lot of times I tend to have one of my hands on my mouse and it would just be easier to do this in a few clicks instead of using a keyboard shortcut to open up the command bar.

Hi Carlo, you can edit a task duration without using shortcuts and before planning a task.
You need to click on the "Plan" field and select "duration".
After planning the task, the duration field will be visibile on the task popup header as well, as you can see in the screenshots attached. Let me know if everything is clear!

Stefania: oh, that's good to know! Appreciate the heads up on this! I initially wasn't able to see the Duration field. I guess we can convert this as a request for a separate Duration button on the task itself just to make things more efficient and reduce clicks (especially since Time and Repeat have their own buttons already), but this is a pretty good start. Thank you!
