Taskjuggler effort and days

Taskjuggler effort and days

Hello,

I got an example from the web to run Taskjuggler (attached; 
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/31513).

However, when I try to set efforts to units other than hours (~:Effort: 
5d~ or ~:Effort: 1w~; see [[tjp.org::Another task]]), org-export 
multiplies 24 hours times the number of days. This results in 120.0h (3 
weeks in the HTML report) for 5d.

I would like to know if, instead of having 24 hours as the factor, there 
is a way to have the actual value copied (~:Effort: 5d~ from the tjp.org 
to ~effort 5d~ in the tjp.tjp).

I modified the resulting .tjp, and I can set ~effort 5d~ to get 5 
effective days (if no other task is allocated to the resource). Also, if 
I set ~:Length: 5d~ instead of ~:Effort: 5d~, the time is well allocated 
(results in ~length 5d~; may be that is a clue..?).

If this question has been answered before, I would appreciate if someone 
points me in the right direction. Thanks!
