Hi!
I actively use timestamps to plan my day. When I have a task, I add a time-stamp to it with "C-." Then I plan the task, for example, for tomorrow. I end up with:
** important task <2013-03-13 Wed>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: <2013-03-12 Tue 13:52>
:END:
The property drawer has an active time-stamp, which in turn appears in my agenda. What I want to end up is, an inactive time-stamp in the drawer:
** important task <2013-03-13 Wed>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: [2013-03-12 Tue 13:52]
:END:
At the moment I change it by hand, but laziness is the key to progress, so: how do I do this?
Thanks, Alex

How do you create the :CREATED: property with the active timestamp?

I think you want this: (setq org-expiry-inactive-timestamps t)

Thank you for the hint to org-expiry, Bastien.
Maybe this link is helpful as well:

Thank you all!
(setq org-expiry-inactive-timestamps t)
was the key.
I will do some more reading this weekend, but for now everything works as expected (again). Thanks for the answers, the stackoverflow link, and the Heinlein.
