Build Hours/Cost Estimate Tool: Reference Entered Text Value from the same Colum in a Column Formula

I want to make a cost/hours estimating sheet that will sum the hours or cost of the children rows, but I want the cells with a hierarchy level of 1 to allow users to enter their estimated hours. Can I use an SUMIF statement in the column formula but have a mechanism that allows values to be entered in cells with the condition that their Hierarchy=1

You would not be able to apply a column formula as the formula would then be applied to all rows which would block manual entry.
You would need to manually copy/paste the formula from one parent row to the next.

Paul, yup that's what I've been doing.

If you collapse/hide the child rows though, you can paste to the parent rows in bulk.

Definitely. I guess I'm concerned with any other use with a license that will use the template might be able or likely to break it.
