Dear Experts,
=
How do I make it so that column-view shows the duration of a scheduled = task? I now that if I do something like

* my top node
=A0=A0=A0 :PROPERTIES:
=A0=A0=A0 :COLUMNS: %40ITEM = %%10SCHEDULED
=A0=A0=A0 :END:

and then create a dynamic-block I can get a table to show the scheduled= time, but what do I do if I want the duration of a scheduled task?

= Thanks,
-Emin
