I'd like that the task duration and the time blocked in the calendar for that task did not match. So I can plan a task multiple times, like in Sunsama.
Another way of thinking about this would be to allow a task to be split into "chunks" across multiple time slots or scheduled on multiple days. This feature is available with getmotion.com. In other words if a task duration is set to 2 hours, during the planning step it would helpful to toggle on "chunks" and then set a duration for each chunk (15 min, 30 min, 45 min, custom, etc). By doing so the task could split up into separate list items which could then be scheduled during the daily ritual. Once each chunk is completed it would provide a % done to the master task. Hope this makes sense.
Having switched from Motion to Akiflow this year, this is one of the glaring misses from Akiflow and a source of real friction.
Hopefully this can be prioritized soon.

the way I’m “coping” with this is to duplicate the task and amend the title with counter #001, #002, and so on……

This is so needed! The "chunks" were my favourite feature in Motion (but they didn't meet other more important needs). Another option would be to set it up by setting a deadline, and having an option for, "I want to work on this task 'x times' or for 'x hours' each day until complete". Then it could be planned into your days when and where you have time.

YES!! Imported tasks should also be able to exist on multiple days.
Currently when you click "done" the task is always marked as done. I want to import a task from Clickup and do a few hours each day until the task is completed.

Often times I have one task that I am working on, which will be done in between other events on my calendar. It will be great if you allow Tasks to be split. This will allow us to allot multiple time slots for one task. When task is marked as complete, all instances of the task are also completed. This is better than duplicating a task or creating new tasks for every new time slots or overlapping tasks

Hello, was wondering if there's been any progress or updates to adding this feature to Akiflow? This is something I definitely need within Akiflow!

This is very important for time tracking too. I would like to see when I did work on a task. Or at least make Subtasks possible.

Hadhemi Gafsi: We currently have an alternative to subtasks.
Our task description has a check box bullet that can allow you to replicate subtasks.
You can also use Time Slot as Task and Tasks within the Time Slot as subtasks. :)

This feature would be very welcomed for me since i have sometimes "global" tasks which i schedule several times and I like to keep info about this task in it's description, but currently i need to edit all of them, or schedule only after editing which is somewhat repetitive. Having single "task" and multiple "schedules" would be cool

I was wondering if there are any plans for implementing this feature? Stefania
I’m currently hitting a roadblock with my Notion integration. When I import a project from Notion, it takes several hours to complete, and it’s challenging to block out such a long stretch of time in one go.
Right now, I’m duplicating the task to break it down, but it’s becoming pretty tedious to do this manually every time. It would be incredibly helpful to have the ability to plan and schedule chunks of this task throughout the day or even over multiple days until the project is fully completed.
Would love it if it applied to regular Akiflow tasks as well!
Thanks in advance for considering this!

I like the idea of putting in a long duration for big tasks and having this split across multiple slots. At present I lost out all the sub tasks and put those into slots but that can take a while for long, but routine, tasks.
