That ;; means, Org-mode will search for an entry with the ID property XYZ ;; and switch that entry to KEYWORD as well. ;; ;; Blocking ;; -------- ;; ;; 1) If an entry contains a BLOCKER property that contains the word ;; "previous-sibling", the sibling above the current entry is ;; checked when you try to mark it DONE. If it is still in a TODO ;; state, the current state change is blocked. ;; ;; 2) If the BLOCKER property contains any other words, these are ;; treated as entry id's. That means, Org-mode will search for an ;; entry with the ID property exactly equal to this word. If any ;; of these entries is not yet marked DONE, the current state change ;; will be blocked. ;; ;; 3) Whenever a state change is blocked, an org-mark is pushed, so that ;; you can find the offending entry with `C-c &'. ;; ;;; Example: ;; ;; When trying this example, make sure that the settings for TODO keywords ;; have been activated, i.e. include the following line and press C-c C-c ;; on the line before working with the example: ;; ;; #+TYP_TODO: TODO NEXT | DONE ;; ;; * TODO Win a million in Las Vegas ;; The "third" TODO (see above) cannot become a TODO without this money. ;; ;; :PROPERTIES: ;; :ID: I-cannot-do-it-without-money ;; :END: ;; ;; * Do this by doing a chain of TODO's ;; ** NEXT This is the first in this chain ;; :PROPERTIES: ;; :TRIGGER: chain-siblings(NEXT) ;; :END: ;; ;; ** This is the second in this chain ;; ;; ** This is the third in this chain ;; :PROPERTIES: ;; :BLOCKER: I-cannot-do-it-without-money ;; :END: ;; ;; ** This is the forth in this chain ;; When this is DONE, we will also trigger entry XYZ-is-my-id ;; :PROPERTIES: ;; :TRIGGER: XYZ-is-my-id(TODO) ;; :END: ;; ;; ** This is the fifth in this chain ;; ;; * Start writing report ;; :PROPERTIES: ;; :ID: XYZ-is-my-id ;; :END: ;; ;; (require 'org) (defcustom org-depend-tag-blocked t "Whether to indicate blocked TODO items by a special tag." :group 'org :type 'boolean) (defun org-depend-trigger-todo (change-plist) "Trigger new TODO entries after the current is switched to DONE.
