Hi, Current the org-log-into-drawer function does not honor the value of the LOG_INTO_DRAWER property if the property has the value nil. For example, if the org-log-into-drawer variable is set to t, but we have the file: * Foo :PROPERTIES: :LOG_INTO_DRAWER: nil :END: ** TODO Bar org-mode will log changes to the TODO entry into a drawer. The attached patch fixes the issue, allowing a nil value of the LOG_INTO_DRAWER property to override a t value of the org-log-into-drawer variable. best, Erik
