Scheduled date in closing note for repeated task

Scheduled date in closing note for repeated task

[Michaël Parienti]

Hi,

I use a lot of repeated tasks, daily mostly, for which I want to log
the result as a note. So I use the "lognoterepeat" variable. But the
note doesn't contain the date of the task, just the date of when I
mark the task as done.

Example:

** TODO Did it rain this day?
  SCHEDULED: <2009-07-06 Mon +1d> 
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2009-07-07 Tue 17:27] \\
     No
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2009-07-07 Tue 17:23] \\
     Yes

I would like to have:

** TODO Did it rain this day?
   SCHEDULED: <2009-07-06 Mon +1d> 
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2009-07-05 Sun] \\
     No
   - State "DONE"       from "TODO"       [2009-07-04 Sat] \\
     Yes

Is there a way to have the desired result with an org variable? 

Thanks in advance

This is currently not possible.  The date in the state change line
is supposed to be the date when you acted, snd I would not think it
is a good idea to change that.  However, we might add a hook that can  
be used to pre-insert some stuff into the note buffer, and that hooks  
could
be used to find and add the scheduled date....  Would that make sense?

Of course org-mode must not change its default behavior, but I was
thinking about an option that can be set by entry or by file.

A hook will be fine too. I will learn to use them :-)
