Keyword

supplement

Purpose	The supplement keyword provides a mechanism to add more attributes to already defined accounts, tasks or resources. The additional attributes must obey the same rules as in regular task or resource definitions and must be enclosed by curly braces. This construct is primarily meant for situations where the information about a task or resource 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 (account <account ID> [{ <attributes> }] | report <report ID> [{ <attributes> }] | resource <resource ID> [{ <attributes> }] | task <task ID> [{ <attributes> }])
Arguments	account ID	The ID of an already defined account.
	report ID	The absolute ID of an already defined report.
	resource ID	The ID of an already defined resource.
	task ID	The absolute ID of an already defined task.
