Bug: org-agenda-span value not quoted via customize interface

Bug: org-agenda-span value not quoted via customize interface

[Niall Dooley]

Hi all,

This is my first mail to this list so please tell me if I haven't
followed the expected conventions.

I created the following org-agenda-custom-command via the customise
interface

 '(org-agenda-custom-commands
   (quote
    (("A" "Priority #A tasks" agenda ""
      ((org-agenda-span day)
       (org-agenda-overriding-header "Today's priority #A tasks: ")
       (org-agenda-skip-function
        (quote
         (org-agenda-skip-entry-if
          (quote notregexp)
          "\\=.*\\[#A\\]"))))))))

I receive the following error:

Symbol’s value as variable is void: day

The default value of week seems to be quoted. Manually, quoting the
value day in the above snippet resolves the error. So it just seems like
choosing a value through the available choices in the customise
interface does not automatically quote the choice.

Regards,

Niall

Hi Sébastien,

That's my point. I'm reporting that if such a custom command is created
through the customise interface with a setting of "Number of days in
agenda: org-agenda-span" and a choice of "day" then the quote (') is not
included.

It appears as (org-agenda-span day) instead of (org-agenda-span 'day).
