Have a duration field on all screens instead of just start and end dates.

When we are creating a Gantt off of an SOW, the SOW only deals with estimated duration (in hours/days/weeks). It would be great to have the duration field present on all screens so we can easily add/edit this. For example on List view when we are putting in all the tasks, we should be able to say 'starts on this date, for a 10 day duration' and the system would automatically calculate the end date from that. Currently we have to open up end date calendar and count the days which adds up to a lot of time on large scale projects. (You have this field on detailed views of tasks, just not on the quicker views such as List and Gantt views). This would also help our reports as we are an agency and are more concerned with duration of tasks and how close our estimates were.

Merged in a post:
Provide an easy way for people to enter a task, along with a start-date, duration, and dependency ID.

I know it sounds simple. IT's all I want. I want to say:
"Redesign of X" will take 5 days and either start on 11/3 or will depend on this other task. That's it. This is the most basic functionality anyone would want. After 10 minutes of fiddling, I could enter a task name but not a duration or dependency... unless that's all done via the dragging of the bars. If so, I'll pass.
No reply needed. Just feedback to you may retain the next guy who comes along.
