Hello friends,
I just discovered org-agenda-diary-entry, which is a terrific command to streamline my planning process as I move away from using the raw diary file. But it lacks a feature that is key to my usage: it conveniently creates a diary item in my configured org file and sticks a time stamp on it; but I need to be able to edit that time stamp to add an hour to it, so I can plug it into the details of my day. It (I would assume `C-.' ) ought to work the same way C-d or C-s does on an agenda entry, allowing you to change and refine the deadline/schedule time of the item. But search as I might, this doesn't seem to be implemented yet.
Also, it doesn't really seem to play nicely with adding deadline or schedule to the same item, as you will end up with multiple agenda entries on the same day for the same item (with the generic timestamp being the least useful of these entries). Is there a use case for this, or is it as redundant as it looks to me right now?
Thanks; org-mode is awesome.

You can change the timestamp from the agenda with ">".
,----[ (info "(org) Agenda commands")
| ‘> (org-agenda-date-prompt)’
| Change the timestamp associated with the current line. The key ‘>’
| has been chosen, because it is the same as ‘S-.’ on my keyboard.

See the following variables:
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown
org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown
org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry
Best,
Matt
