There is a bug in our bugzilla database about this. We intend to fix it
at some point.

Work is not the same as duration. That's why both fields exist... Work
is the amount of combined work performed by assigned resources that is
needed to complete the task, duration is the time it takes to perform
that work by the resources.

Yeah, although that is difficult to solve due to technical reasons...
Not sure how to do it really.

What do you mean? For the task/resource names, or everything, or...?

Thanks for your input!
