When scheduling tasks to calendar, split the task up to fit between events

Travis Meyer

When dragging a task onto the calendar, if there are events that conflict with the required time, split the task up so that it fills in the time available rather than double booking.

When auto-scheduling, Sunsama will split the task when possible. There is some nuance to this feature, which you can read about here: https://help.sunsama.com/docs/timeboxing-auto-scheduling#splitting-a-task-around-events---%C2%B7-518

Alex, should this feature request be marked Closed? It's been implemented, yes?

Michael Carter: Good catch, thanks!

I believe this is possible now when using the auto-scheduling shortcut (x). Ashutosh Priyadarshy

I'm sad this request is from 2 years ago and still not enough interest! I have this problem all the time..

This would be great. I believe allowing tasks to run over several days would also be helpful (or planning work sessions for a single task that is several hours long). However, I believe it would be important to be able to prevent this from happening under certain circumstances. A toggle button "allow split/do not split" would be great.

Maybe when you drag a task + some key, the behaviour is different from the default. Like

drag + CTRL/⌘

Also, give the ability to change which one is the default.

Yes! If I have allocated 3 hours for a project I will most likely not be able to do all three hours consecutively. It would be nice to split the task and time.

I would also love to see this. Auto-scheduling a long task around a lunch break is another example

This is exactly what I would love to see. I find myself needing to split a large task (e.g. 4-hour writing session) either side of a smaller one (e.g. a 30min meeting).
