Bulk scattering agenda items when the user wants to log reschedules does not work.
Steps to reproduce:
Set
org-log-rescheduleto the value"time"Alternatively, customize “Org Log Reschedule” to “Record timestamp with note”.
Add an org mode file with the following contents to the agenda file list
Testing scatter 1 SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue> Testing scatter 2 SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue> Testing scatter 3 SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue>(As in previous reports, I can’t paste these as actual headings. Their structure is irrelevant.)
- Mark all of previous headings for bulk action in the agenda
- Bulk scatter the marked headings (
B S, by default) - Fill out the prompted note with anything and hit
C-c C-cto finish
You will note Emacs reports that only Testing scatter 1 has been rescheduled, has a note, and all headings remain marked. Emacs will also not prompt you for notes for the other headings or reschedule them- the process terminates here. This issue does not occur when org-log-reschedule is set to its default value: “No logging”.
The expected behavior is that either Emacs will prompt me for more notes for the remaining headings, or at the very least will scatter them.
I have written and attached a rudimentary patch which “solves” this problem by storing org-log-reschedule’s value, scattering with “No logging” set, and then restoring it. I think it is up for debate whether or not the logging behavior in the case of a bulk scatter should respect the user’s settings, or prompt just once at the beginning for a note (copying it to all subsequent scattered headlines), or if it should be ignored entirely (as in my patch).
