I often find I need to mark recurring tasks as "done" that I completed on the previous day or even earlier. For most tasks, it doesn't matter when I mark them as done; but if the task uses org-habits, it means I have to manually edit the timestamp so that it doesn't mess up the habit log going forward. If there's a better way to deal with situations like this, I'd love to hear about it. If not, I just wanted to point out another use case for anyone thinking about implementing "retroactive timestamp editing" functions. Thanks! Richard
