[suggestion] task personell requirement UI doesn't match common thinking

[masukomi]

I want 2 people to man the front desk

So i put in 1 min, 2 desired, 5 max.

but it's a long event.... so it may take 20 people to actually man it during all the hours.

BUT the UI is counting TOTAL people not how many people are actually assigned to the task at the same time. If the event gets extended then i need more people, but i don't need more at the same time... and the actual task still only requires 2 people to do it, regardless of how many people are required to cover it over a long span of time.

Now, admittedly the number of people assigned to a task at a given time can change over the lifetime of the event so maybe the total number should be replaced with a min/max overlapping people

I'm thinking slice the event by 30 min increments and see how many people are assigned in each then take the min and max from that. Maybe 30 mins is too coarse grained. 5 min wouldn't be much more work and it's not like this is a page going to be loaded by bajillions of people.

The min/max was always supposed to be at any given time. Currently the system does not work well across multiple operational periods.
