Task UDAs cannot be contracted

[vanya-robertson]

Background information

I ran task 80 mod est:5h
I have estimate as an UDA with type duration in my config:

uda.estimate.type=duration
uda.estimate.label=Estimated Time

I expected estimate to change from its existing value to 5h.
Instead, the task was renamed to "est:5h"

Feature request

• Could task uda contraction be implemented?
• This would constitute contractions of unorphaned UDAs (eg. estimate: -> est:) being processed in the same way other attributes are, such as priority: -> pri:
• It would streamline adding and editing tasks.
