Hi John

i tried it by evaluating it and then it works exactly as i needed:) the
only bizarre thing is that when i add it to my config emacs is frozen
during startup.
ive also tried adding the extra lines you suggested so now the lisp part
looks like this


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun update-last-edited (beg end length)
  (when
      (and
       (not (org-before-first-heading-p))
       (org-get-heading))
    (org-entry-put nil "LAST-EDITED" (format-time-string
"[%d-%m-%Y(%H:%M)]"))))

(add-to-list 'after-change-functions 'update-last-edited)

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
(add-to-list 'after-change-functions 'update-last-edited)))

#+END_SRC

any idea why it freezes emacs?

best
