I agree that it's ugly, and I've already filed a bug to look into this. Sorry for making it sound like we don't care about this.

thank you for your reply
Data Entry

Hi Lizard,
Say I have a custom field which is float (1.25) and I want to roll up/sum up the values of this custom field to its parent group, how do i do that.
By the way your script worked nicely to update the calculated field in custom data. Thanks

Here's an example of an AppleScript that does approximately what I described above:

tell application "OmniPlan"
	repeat with t in tasks of front document
		if task type of t is standard task then
			-- effort is in seconds
			set budgetHours to (effort of t) / 3600
			set budgetPrice to value of custom data entry "Budget Hour Price" of t
			if budgetHours is missing value or budgetPrice is missing value then
				set budgetTotal to 0
			else
				set budgetTotal to budgetHours * budgetPrice
			end if
			set value of custom data entry "Budget Total" of t to budgetTotal
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
