Hi Carsten, I ran into this a few weeks ago and it's been bugging me.
I reorganized a project which had a deadline on the main task and moved it down to multiple subtasks in the project. ,---- | * TODO Project task | DEADLINE: <2009-08-28 Fri> | ** TODO Step 1 | ** TODO Step 2 | ... | ** TODO Step n `---- I decided the DEADLINE really doesn't belong at the top -- since the deadline was for step 2 (and a few other tasks)... so I moved it the hard way. Instead of cutting it out and pasting it back in the right tree I just used C-c C-d and entered the same date on step 2 (because I was moving the date a bit from the original date). ,---- | * TODO Project task | DEADLINE: <2009-08-28 Fri> | ** TODO Step 1 | ** TODO Step 2 | DEADLINE: <2009-08-28 Fri> | ... | ** TODO Step n `---- Now to remove the deadline from the Project task I just did C-u C-c C-d on the Project task but this removed all the deadlines in the subtree and my deadline in Step 2 (and others) is now gone. AFAICT SCHEDULED: works the same way. This doesn't feel natural to me but I know it is documented this way. Does the way it works now really make sense or would just removing the deadline from the task you are working on be better. C-c C-d sets a deadline just for this task, so it felt natural to me that C-u C-c C-d would remove the deadline just for this task -- but that's what I get for not reading the manual (or forgetting since I read it ;) Regards, Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
