"DONE" all subtasks recursively

"DONE" all subtasks recursively

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 404 bytes --]

Hey guys

If I have a headline with children, like this:

* Project
** TODO Task
** TODO Task
** SubProject
*** TODO Task
*** TODO Task

Does org have any functionality that allows me to automatically close
(Change TODO->DONE, put DONE when TODO is not available (in the case of
Projects)) automatically and recursively for each child if I close the main
parent headline?

Thanks in advance,

- Marcelo.

Hey guys, if someone could guide me a hint on where I should look to hack
some elisp code in order to do that, I'd be grateful ;)

Cheers,

Marcelo.

You can use ‘org-map-region’ to call a function on every headline in a
region. ‘org-end-of-subtree’ will move point to… well, the end of the
current subtree.  Finally, ‘org-todo’ is what changes the todo state
of the headline containing point.

Add your custom function to either
‘org-after-todo-state-change-hook’[1] or ‘org-trigger-hook’.[2] (I’m
not sure what the difference is.)

Happy hacking!

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun bh/mark-subtree-done ()
  (interactive)
  (org-mark-subtree)
  (let ((limit (point)))
    (save-excursion
      (exchange-point-and-mark)
      (while (> (point) limit)
	(org-todo "DONE")
	(outline-previous-visible-heading 1))
      (org-todo "DONE"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then M-x bh/mark-subtree-done.

This relies on the subtasks all being visible.  You can enhance it so it
handles folded tasks if needed.
