"CANCELED(c@)")) I expected this to cause me to get timestamps, based on this piece of the docstring: " `!' means to record only the time of the state change." This value of org-todo-log-states in the buffer where I just failed to get a timestamp seems to suggest that I'm on the right track: (("CANCELED" note nil) ("DONE" time nil) ("WAIT" note nil)) But I have done several changes to the done state, using C-u C-c C-t d and I'm not seeing any timestamping. Am I doing something wrong here? thanks, R
