I have a bunch of files with TODO items in various states including WAITING and HOLD. When I change something to the WAITING or HOLD state, the C-c C-t command is set to ask why so a line of information is in the org file after the TODO line. (setq org-todo-keywords (quote ((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "SCHEDULED(s)" "|" "DONE(d)") (sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "HOLD(h@/!)" "|" "CANCELLED(c@/!)" "PHONE" "MEETING")))) I'd love to see that line of information in the TODO list so I know why something is waiting or on hold without having to visit it. So and org file entry that looks like this: * HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys - State "HOLD" from "TODO" [2013-12-16 Mon 11:54] \\ Hold till we can work out a group to create (or a current one to use?) Now appears in the global todo list as: 56726-user-keys-ovl01.syd:HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys and I'd like to see something like 56726-user-keys-ovl01.syd:HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys Hold till we can work out a group to create (or a current one to use?) Can the todo list be tweaked in this way? Can some other agenda view be created so that the comments made when the item is set to WAITING or HOLD show up? With or without the date the comment was made? Zebee
