I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are asking for, but you can remove SCHEDULED and DEADLINE metadata by adding a prefix argument to C-c C-s and C-c C-d. ,---- | C-c C-s runs the command org-schedule, which is an interactive | compiled Lisp function in `org.el'. | | It is bound to C-c C-s, | . | | (org-schedule &optional remove time) | | Insert the SCHEDULED: string with a timestamp to schedule a TODO item. | With argument remove, remove any scheduling date from the item. | When time is set, it should be an internal time specification, and the | scheduling will use the corresponding date. `---- Perhaps you are looking for something different---e.g., log info about when an item was unscheduled? The phrase "so it could be logged" in the first paragraph of your message makes me suspect I may not understand your request. Best, Matt
