Hi
I have an org file which is full of time-stamps from last year stuff
like <2016-11-14 Sat>. I thought I could easily modify/edit the time
stamp but I cannot, every time I move the cursor into such a stamp, I
cannot edit as I wish. It looks as if that entry is somehow blocked.
Of course I could switch the mode say to text mode and then edit the
entry, but what could I do within orgmode?
Thanks
Uwe Brauer

You mean you cannot change it at all?

You should be able to change it with ordinary editing commands (it's just
text, albeit with text properties). Or you could do S-<up or S-<down> on
individual fields to change them (that runs org-timestamp-up/down which
knows e.g. to increment the year when the month is incremented from 12 to
1 and also knows to change the name of the day of the week).

If custom time format is specified, the time field is not editable in the usual ways like S-up, S-down, or text editing. See if symptoms are like http://orgmode.org/org.html#Custom-time-format.

Thanks very much for pointing this out to me. This is precisely my
situation. I see what I can do, maybe I turn customization off.

I ended up turning customisation of timestamp presentation off as it was
just too annoying for just this reason. Pity but understandable as the
customisations allowed are too general to provide a consistent interface
for adjustments, I would guess.

If I had known about custom time formats, maybe I *would* have pointed
that out to you ;-), but I didn't (I've never used them): it was Bingo
<right.ho@gmail.com> who divined the cause of your problem.

I found out that org-toggle-time-stamp-overlays is a very good
solution, I toggle the overlay off, edit and toggle it on.

Right. I hit the reply message on the wrong message, sorry Bingo and
thanks again.

Ah, of course org would have such a solution. I didn't even think that
would be possible. Sigh.
Thanks,
