Hello, I am observing this (funky?) behavior:
in the agenda, the deadline seems to be identified only if it
immediately follows the headline, and it is ignored otherwise.
Am I missing something? Thank you, Paolo.
1) DEADLINE is identified and used.
** TODO Phone call
DEADLINE: <2017-09-06 Wed>
Maria's bill
-> agenda
capture: In 2 d.: TODO Phone call [<2017-09-06 Wed>]
2) DEADLINE is ignored
** TODO Phone call
Maria's bill
DEADLINE: <2017-09-06 Wed>
-> agenda
nothing
3) DEADLINE is ignored
** TODO Phone call
DEADLINE: <2017-09-06 Wed>
Maria's bill
-> agenda
nothing

You are not missing something. As the manual says:
A timestamp may be preceded by special keywords to facilitate
planning. Both the timestamp and the keyword have to be positioned
immediately after the task they refer to.
I guess immediately means not even a blank line.

Hi,
it looks like
* TODO task
DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do>
will find the DEADLINE and SCHEDULE timestamp and display correctly in the agenda while
* TODO task
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do>
DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>
will still find the SCHEDULED tinestamp but no more the DEADLINE.
I had this sequence in my org templates in the past and had no issues as far as I remember.
Has this behaviour changed?
Freshly creating a new SCHEDULED and DEADLINED timestamp results in the structure below.
Do all tasks now need to have both items in the same line like here:
* TODO task
SCHEDULED: <2017-12-14 Do> DEADLINE: <2017-12-14 Do>
Thank you.
Regards, Rainer

Sheer luck, I would say.

I cannot remember Org supporting this syntax, actually. I don't think
anything changed.

They do, but it's not new.

Thanks, Nicolas.
I am concerned hearing you say "sheer luck" because I am relying on such double entries, which seem to have worked well in the past:
* TODO [#A] Change tyres spring/autumn
DEADLINE: <2018-05-01 Di> SCHEDULED: <2018-04-21 Sa +1y>
DEADLINE: <2018-11-10 Sa> SCHEDULED: <2018-11-03 Sa +1y>
So is that working only by sheer luck?
Thank you.
Regards, Rainer

Definitely. Planning info is a single line, right below the heading.
Most related code relies on that assumption.

Thanks for clarifying, I will adjust and use multiple tasks.
