But when logging progress, I can't use the logbook functionality (like I could have done with nested TODOs). I have ended up doing this: * My tasks ** TODO here's a new task [/] - [ ] First I need to do this - Logbook: - My first note - My second note - [ ] Then I need to do that - [ ] Finally I need to finish this That works, after a fashion. But I get no timestamp on the notes, unless I remember to do a `C-.' I've tried putting :LOGBOOK: drawers in the checkboxes, and that seemed to work at first, but then I discovered that all notes ended up in the topmost checkbox, which just happened to reside under the first checkbox. Is there some variable that I can set to make :LOGBOOK: drawers work under checkboxes? Is there some other similar solution? (I'm on git org-mode at home, and use native emacs 23 org-mode and 7.7 on the windows boxes at work) Thanks! - Steinar
