Still isn't working with org-mode 9.3.7 (org-20200622) and
using emacs -q
I have this file:
* One
:project:a:work:boss:projectA:
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 1:00
:END:
* Two
:projectB:
:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: 2:00
:END:
* Bar
:pt:project:b:
And this custom view returns nothing:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("1" tags-todo "{projectA}")))
If I do a tags-todo search manually and use this syntax: {projectA}
it works.
Ideas?
