Calculate time-remaining for tree (remaining time min, max)
When you make an item a project, you get "time required for the project" min+max. When subtasks are completed, these numbers do not change.
(a) It would be useful to have total time remaining for the project. Halfway through a project, the total time is not really useful - the time remaining is (arguably) the only important statistic.
(b) It would be nice to be able to show these values for a group of tasks.
(c) It would be useful to have these fields appear in the column list.
Specifically, under the "effort" pane, add a calculated field "total time remaining" min+max that is the sum of task+children time required min+max for incomplete tasks.

(Newbie, but I haven't found this feature if it exists.) I wish there were a "time spent" field, or even just an arbitrary numeric field with optional calculated values in the parent items that could be used for something like that. I'd like to be able to use MLO for tracking as well as planning.
