In org-mode 9 "Scheduled" and "Deadline" are no longer parsed if they are not in the beginning

In org-mode 9 "Scheduled" and "Deadline" are no longer parsed if they are not in the beginning

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the best productivity tool that I know of!

I've been using org-mode for years, and somewhere between version 8 and 9,
a change happened, which I could not find in the changelogs.

Here's how I often used to format TODO items which are scheduled:

* TODO Item
some-text
some-more-text
   SCHEDULED: <2018-06-19 Tue>

In the newer versions of org, the SCHEDULED string is no longer parsed, and
I don't see it in agenda, unless I reformat it like this:

* TODO Item
    SCHEDULED: <2018-06-19 Tue>
some-text
some-more-text

This broke the habit that I was using for years and also broke my existing
notes as I'm no longer able to see them in agenda. I wonder if this
behavior can be changed to work like before.

Thanks!

No it cannot. SCHEDULED and DEADLINE must be in the line right below the
heading. M-x org-lint will help you finding problematic lines.

Not this is not really a change: most code in Org expected such lines to
be located right below the heading since day 1. The agenda was a bit
tolerant on that part. This is particularly important to make Org find
information quickly.

Org-lint can help find and repair this for you (I think).

Hi, Ken, Nicolas,

thanks for prompt answers, I used org-lint to find all those cases, and
although it took a while, it totally helped!
