Hi all,
I would like to switch to org-agenda to track birthdays, but if I
place a deadline with a +1y specifier, like:
DEADLINE: <2022-12-14 mer +1y>
the birthday pops in the agenda view even after it has passed. I'm
sure there is a simple trick to make it disappear once it has expired,
but I cannot figure how to do it.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Luca

DEADLINE is designed for tasks. Until DONE, entries with DEADLINE appear
in agenda as overdue. Is it what you generally want to see for tasks.
You can
1. Turn it into TODO and mark DONE once handled (when deadline has a
repeater, marking birthday DONE will re-schedule it and flip the todo
keyword back to TODO)
2. Just use timestamp like <2022-12-14 mer +1y> without DEADLINE. This
will make the birthday appear on the day of birthday in your agenda.

Good to know!

This is surely the approach I'd like to go.
Thanks,
