feature request: retain scheduled time of done scheduled TODO's

feature request: retain scheduled time of done scheduled TODO's

[Brian van den Broek]

Hi all,

I have a feature request.

When marking a scheduled TODO as done, I generally want to retain the 
information about for when it was scheduled. I wish to do so so as to 
see how far ahead or behind I am from my planned progress. (I use 
deadlines for things that must be done dates and scheduling for 
planning when I will do something.)

At present, I am manually copying the active scheduled timestamp into 
the closing note and turning it into an inactive timestamp. It would 
be a boon were this able to be done automatically. Unfortunately, my 
lisp is far too weak to attempt this myself.

Apologies if I overlooked relevant bits of the manual and I'm asking 
for something that already exists. If so, pointers gratefully accepted :-)

Best,

Brian vdB

I don't really remember why I used to remove the "SCHEDULED" info
at all when adding a CLOSED time stamp.  No need, really.  In 5.07
this will be changed - if it breaks anything, I will make it an
option.

Hi all,

Thanks Carsten, both for implementing this and for all the other 5.07 
goodness. I've noticed no problems with this feature so far.

BTW The manual says that it is for v5.08 but the latest release is 5.07a.

Best,
