How to adjust the default duration of a task?

OmniPlan
#1

Hi,

I am trying to change the default duration of the tasks that I create. Tasks currently default to an 8 hour duration. None of my tasks are 8 hours. Is is possible to make a 1 hour default duration, or even 1/4 hour default duration?? That would be wonderful.

Edit:
-OR- if it would be possible to have a task default at 0h 0m (0 hours and 0 min), then I could apply the time to only the tasks that I need to track as I go along. This would work well too, at the moment.

Thank you,

Clare

Hi @Clare12345 - you should be able to set this up by modifying your default new task. To do so, create a task that is 1 hour long, then select Project > Set as Default for New Tasks in the OmniPlan menu bar.
