Changing behaviour of {:} in column view?

Changing behaviour of {:} in column view?

[Luke Crook]

In column view, org-mode sums 3xSubtasks each having an effort of "1d" as "1d 
0:00".  Is there a way to change the sum to display this as "3d"?

You could try to attach an ECM (« Exemple Complet Minimal », or minimal
working example) demo'ing your problem. That'd save time for people to
try to confirm the problem, and eventually fix it.

Yes, I should have done. 

The following shows the sum of Tasks 1/2/3 as "1d 00:00" in column view, 
which is correct as this reflects the actual number of hours of effort (8 
hours a day).  My question is, can this be displayed assuming 'n' hours of 
effort a day and shown in days? So the sum of Effort in this case would be 
displayed as "3d".


* Test
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       Tasks
:COLUMNS:  %ITEM %17Effort(Effort){:}
:END:
** Task 1
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   1d
:END:
** Task 2
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   1d
:END:
** Task 3
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort:   1d
:END:
