link: how to revert repeating sub-tasks? http://openpaste.org/en/21646/
I have a repeating tasks that looks like this:
,----
| * TODO daily review
| SCHEDULED: <2010-01-01 .+1d>
| :LOGBOOK:...
| :PROPERTIES:...
| ** TODO task A...
| ** TODO task B...
`----
Problem:
After I have marked the sub-tasks and main task (in that order) done,
but the sub-tasks remain in 'DONE' state.
Longer problem description:
I have blocking enables, so I can only mark the main repeating task 'DONE'
after all the sub-tasks are 'DONE' as well.
The main repeating task (daily review) works great.
It reverts to 'TODO' with the new scheduled date (day after today)
and leaves a note in the 'LOGBOOK'.
However the sub-tasks remain in the 'DONE' state
instead of reverting to 'TODO' as well.
Example: (based on example above with current date being 2010-05-17)
- switched all sub-tasks to DONE
- switched the main task to DONE
current output:
,----
| * TODO daily review
| SCHEDULED: <2010-05-18 .+1d >
| :LOGBOOK:...
| :PROPERTIES:...
| ** DONE task A...
| ** DONE task B...
`----
desired output:
,----
| * TODO daily review
| SCHEDULED: <2010-05-18 .+1d >
| :LOGBOOK:...
| :PROPERTIES:...
| ** TODO task A...
| ** TODO task B...
`----
I would prefer 'TODO's instead of checkboxed if possible.
Any ideas how to get there?

Hi Eraldo,
this is currently not possible - please take a look at org-
checklist.el, maybe that is a way to address your wish.
Otherwise, I guess I could make a hook that you could use to fix the
issue for yourself. I guess more than just witching the states would
be need, for example cleaning up logging time stamps and notes???

Too bad.
I would prefer 'TODO's over checkboxes because that enables me to just
set one of them (sub-tasks) to another state
(e.g. STARTED/WAITING/ACTION/etc).
This helps to make them show up in the appropriate list... until all of
them are DONE.
In which case I could set the main task to DONE thus resetting the
sub-tasks to TODO.
I hope you get the idea ^^.
In any way, thank you for the idea.

For me, changing all 'DONE's to 'TODO's for all sub-tasks would be enough.
