And what a fun it is to train my elisp skills. A first hack that seems to work:
(defun dmj/org-assure-creation-property ()
"Process all orgmode entries of current buffer that do not
match a defined search string"
(interactive)
(org-map-entries 'dmj/org-insert-creation-property "+Creation_Time=\"\"")
)
(defun dmj/org-insert-creation-property ()
"Insert Creation-Property in Orgmode entry at point"
(let ((stamp (format-time-string (cdr org-time-stamp-formats) (current-time))))
(setq stamp (concat "[" (substring stamp 1 -1) "]"))
(org-entry-put (point-marker) "Creation_Time" stamp))
)
The first function (dmj/assure-creation-property) processes every
entry in current buffer that match the search query Creation_Time="",
i.e. entries with an empty or no Creation_Time property at all and
calls dmj/org-insert-creation-property to insert a Creation_Time
property with the current time into this entry.
The tag search query should be refined to only match headlines with
(certain) TODO keywords.
The first function is defined as interactive so you can call it via
M-x -- and of course this is just a fast hack with no warranty at all.
