Need the ability to calculate duration based on planned effort * allocation

I need a feature in Wrike to be able to calculate the duration of a task based on the estimated effort required split across the allocated hours/percentage of the assigned resource.

For example, lets say I have a development task and the developer estimates it will take 10 hours. The resource is only able to allocate 2 hours a day or 20% of their availability to this task. I should be able to enter those two values in Wrike and then it calculate that the task duration should be 5 days.

Most project management tools that I have used allow this, but Wrike requires you to work backwards and assign a duration to the task before you can enter the resource allocation which is not useful to me.
