Dear All, I am running the version cd6fa4c15e8e35afa6beb9e89ad3723fb82df091 (git sha) of org-mode. I just realized that when creating a new entry in my org-diary (`org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file'), the entry looks like: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ** test <2015-01-30 Fri> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00] :END: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The property is added by an call to `org-expiry-insert-created' in the `org-insert-heading-hook'. see in contrib/lisp/org-expiry.el:179 With more details: In the process in inserting the diary entry, `org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file' calls (lisp/org-agenda.el:9460) `org-agenda-insert-diary-as-top-level' (lisp/org-agenda.el:9479). The later then calls `org-insert-heading' (calling the org-expiry hook that creates the property drawer), and inserts the text of the heading followed by a new line, resulting in the insertion of: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ** test :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00] :END: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then `org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file' inserts the timestamp, resulting in: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ** test <2015-01-30 Fri> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: [2015-01-30 Fri 08:00] :END: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This is not compatible with the new drawer syntax (see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/91752). My opinion is that we should either consider that adding a property in `org-insert-heading-hook' is a bad practice or change the functions that create entries to make sure they move beyond a potentially created properties drawer before adding extra information such as timestamps. What is your opinion? Best regards, -- Konubinix GPG Key : 7439106A Fingerprint: 5993 BE7A DA65 E2D9 06CE 5C36 75D2 3CED 7439 106A
