Subject: Logging previous SCHEDULED property before changing TODO state of a habit
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2023 02:23:09 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8734yjlhwi.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


Hi.

Is there anything I can do with my Org config so that every time I
change the TODO state of my habit (example below), Org logs inactive
timestamp from SCHEDULED property before TODO state change?

For example, I have this habit, which I have been forgetting to mark as
DONE/MISSED/WHATEVER for the past several days:


* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-05 Thu +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:END:


Now, I want Org to log when I done the task and when I missed it, but
instead it inserts the timestamp of current time:


* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-08 Sun +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:LAST_REPEAT: [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
- State "MISSED"     from "TODO"       [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:


What I want to get instead is:


* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-08 Sun +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED:  [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:LAST_REPEAT: [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2023-10-08 Sun]
- State "MISSED"     from "TODO"       [2023-10-07 Sat]
- State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2023-10-06 Fri]
:END:


It would be awesome, if there was a placeholder in org-log-note-headings
(for example "%e") that is replaced with previous SCHEDULED
timestamp. Can we do that? Or is there a better option to achieve that?
