Habits default on first STATE when rescheduled

Habits default on first STATE when rescheduled

[Sébastien Vauban]

Hi,

Having the following possible states:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-todo-keywords
        '((sequence "NEW(n!)"
                    "TODO(t!)"
                    "WAIT(w!)"
                    "DLGT(l!)"
                    "|"
                    "DONE(d!)"
                    "DFRD(f!)"
                    "CANX(c!)")))
#+end_src

the habits, when DONE, go back to state NEW, instead of TODO. Of course, there
is no way for Org to know it has to re-begin at the second state (in this
case).

Maybe it'd be good to add an index for habit cycles, or so?

The other alternative is to put NEW after TODO, but this is quite meaningless,
for all the other non-habit tasks that would be first TODO, then NEW, then...
when cycling with S-arrow.

Best regards,
  Seb

Hi Seb,

You can add a property to your habits

  :REPEAT_TO_STATE: TODO

which forces this state for repeating tasks when the item is marked DONE

HTH,
Bernt

Have you tried the following setting?

(setq org-todo-repeat-to-state "TODO")

You can also set this locally with the :REPEAT_TO_STATE: property.

Best,
Matt

Like always. You think some tiny stuff is missing... while it is already
there!

Thanks...
