How to switch to a specific state when clocking out?

How to switch to a specific state when clocking out?

[Manish]

Hello!

Does anyone know of a counterpart to org-clock-in-switch-to-state that
can switch to a specific state when clocking out of an item?

Thanks

Hi Manish!

As far as I know that functionality does not exist.

Thanks Bernt.  I did notice you leaving tasks in STARTED state when
clocking out.

I do not know elisp at all but I dared to peep into org-clock.el.  It
seemed it would just require setting a variable, test for the variable
when clocking out in org-clock-out function and call org-todo with the
value of variable as ARG.  It seems it is not as simple as that.  I will
try to play some more and see if anything comes out of that.

It does now - use org-clock-out-switch-to-state.

Thank you, Carsten!  Works perfectly.

I did manage to get two lines of that patch right. :)
