Re: [O] Bug: malformed property drawers [8.3.6 (8.3.6-3-gf46b92-elpa @ c:/Users/atamulis/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160919/)]

[Tamulis, Andrius]

I hope this gets to the mailing list. I'm not sure how the mailing list 
works.

As for the below,
    1) I've just spent a lot of time trying various searches at the 
emacs-orgmode Archives, and reading through many pages of results, but I 
can't find the mailing list discussion mentioned below by Nicolas. Can 
anyone help? Until I read that, I won't comment further on whether it 
was a good idea to insist that PROPERTIES and dates immediatly follow 
the headline.

    2) If there is good code for fixing the properties drawers, why 
isn't it in the org-agenda-set-property function? The code there now 
just creates new PROPERTIES drawers, ignoring existing ones.

Thanks,

Andrius
