OK, I now have a way to do this. I searched this list again with different search terms and found a posting that I had not seen before. This gave me the idea of using a second org file, into which I would put my recurring tasks.
I've now done this, and after customizing org-global-properties (for "effort") and org-columns-default-format (to show "effort"), all seems to be working as I wanted. (I had previously used in-file definitions of these, but that did not work across two org files.) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
