Keyword | supplement (task)

Purpose

The supplement keyword provides a mechanism to add more attributes to already defined tasks. The additional attributes must obey the same rules as in regular task definitions and must be enclosed by curly braces.

This construct is primarily meant for situations where the information about a task is split over several files. E. g. the vacation dates for the resources may be in a separate file that was generated by some other tool.

Syntax | `supplement task <task ID> [{ <attributes> }]`
Arguments | task ID | The absolute ID of an already defined task.
Context | task, supplement (task)
