Hi —
I've spent a fair amount of time with the manual and have hints that this might
be possible, but I'm not piecing it together. Basically what I want to do is
this:
- select a number of items with time stamps in an org file (either by region
or, if I must, all items subsidiary to a headline)
- change all of their deadlines (or some other time stamp) by a set number of
days, relative to the date they currently have
- the result is a bulk rescheduling, with the relative timing of the items
remaining intact
Additional points:
- I would prefer to select the type of timestamp to change, but I can probably
work with it changing all of them. (Note that some items have both Scheduled
and Deadline timestamps. Some even have other, inactive timestamps. Plus, there
are also timestamps in the Logbook on some items.)
- I would prefer to do this in the org file, not in the Agenda. This is a
planning activity.
- I can see how I might do this by cloning the subtree, but that seems like an
ugly hack, involving deleting the original.
Any guidance?
TIA!
