Installation

Doom emacs

Package recipe:

(package! org-clone-property
  :recipe (:repo "mskorzhinskiy/org-clone-property"
           :host github :branch "main"))

Usage

Let’s say we have the following file:

* TODO Entry
SCHEDULED: <2021-01-09 Sat>
:PROPERTIES:
:CLONE_TIMES: 2
:CLONE_SHIFT: +1w
:END:

If we set this headline as “DONE” then we will automatically get this entry clonned 2 times with time shift of 1 week, producing the following file:

* DONE Entry
CLOSED: [2021-01-09 Sat 16:52] SCHEDULED: <2021-01-09 Sat>
* TODO Entry
SCHEDULED: <2021-01-16 Sat>
* TODO Entry
SCHEDULED: <2021-01-23 Sat>
:PROPERTIES:
:CLONE_TIMES: 2
:CLONE_SHIFT: +1w
:END:
