Re: Archiving repeated tasks under corresponding date tree for each repeated item

[Gerardo Moro]

Thanks, Ihor.

Indeed, that is an excellent feature of agenda. I use it sometimes  to visualize what I have DONE during the week on the sopt.

What I aim to accomplish however is a more systematic log of all the DONE tasks, this is, to have an archive file where to archive all tasks.

This file is in the format:

2020

   2020-01-01 DONE task1

   2020-01-12 DONE task2

   2020-02-01 CANCELLED task3

So it is indeed a datetree file where I can revisit the past :) if you will.

The problem with habits and repeated tasks is that they don't get archived when DONE... 

They get archived once the task is cancelled or completed as a whole, all under the day the task stopped continuing, under which I have all the logged individual completion.

It would be desirable to have each "completion" archived under its corresponding datetree, it is more meaningful :)

Hope it is clear now, thanks so much for any help!

So even if I have beeng doing the task every wednesday for a year, it won't be archived

What about trying to do your weekly review using org-agenda? You can
show the task every day you complete it by enabling org-agenda-log-mode
in your weekly agenda (v l). If your tasks are also archived regularly,
you may also need "v A" to include archive files into agenda view.

Best,
