How to remove a item set by diary-cyclic for once?

[Wei-Wei Guo]

Dear all,

I scheduled a weekly item by

    %%(diary-cyclic 7 05 01 2009) Group meeting.

The meeting in next week is canceled. Can I cancel the item only in next week?
I also tried to mark CANCELED before it, but the marker is added on the parent
item.


Best wishes,
Wei-Wei

Why not use a repeating task?

* TODO Your Meeting
  SCHEDULED: <2009-05-01 Fri +1w>

Then you can mark it DONE or CANCELLED in appropriate weeks and it will
reschedule to the following Friday.  The log that records the cancel
would go in your :LOGBOOK: drawer normally.

cc-ing org-mode since this conversation went off-list and may be useful to
more people.

In an org-mode file C-u C-c C-t and C-c C-t are switched by
org-fast-todo-selection IIRC.

't' works for me in the agenda out of the box with no special
configuration.

Sorry, I didn't notice I only send mail to you. I made the mistake many times.
I should be more careful ...

Thanks for your help!
