Fantastic. It does work now beautifully.

[I was about to tell you that it was still not working, because I was
still trying with the following TODO item:

,----
| ** TODO test                                                       :personal:
| 
|    :PROPERTIES:
|    :SHOWFROMDATE: 2022-10-16
|    :END:
`----

and then I realized that the empty line before :PROPERTIES: was breaking
it. With no empty line it works fine (I should've used
org-command-set-SHOWFROMDATE-property from the beginning, which sets the
PROPERTIES in the right format).

,----
| ** TODO test                                                       :personal:
|    :PROPERTIES:
|    :SHOWFROMDATE: 2022-10-16
|    :END:
`----

Many thanks for your help. My TODO list is going to become a lot cleaner
from now!

Cheers,
