I previously asked a question about this on emacs-orgmode but it seems
more likely that this is a bug.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-02/msg00183.html
I am bulk re-scheduling items in an agenda view. I would like all the
selected items to be re-scheduled to a year later from their current
scheduled date. The org manual
<https://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-commands.html> seems to indicate this
is possible using double plus:
> Schedule all items to a new date. To shift existing schedule dates by
> a fixed number of days, use something starting with double plus at the
> prompt, for example ‘++8d’ or ‘++2w’.
When I try this, however, I always get re-scheduling from the current
date. I am using Org mode version 9.1.6 (9.1.6-48-gfe7619-elpa). Here's
how to reproduce:
1. Create minimal.org.el:
(setq debug-on-error t
debug-on-signal nil
debug-on-quit nil)
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Users/micha/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20180212")
2. emacs.exe -Q -l minimal-org.el
3. Create a test.org buffer:
* TODO Task
SCHEDULED: <2018-01-01 Mon>
4. Add it to the agenda files list with C-c [.
5. M-x org-agenda RET t results in
Global list of TODO items of type: ALL
Available with ‘N r’: (0)[ALL] (1)TODO (2)DONE
test: TODO Task
6. Move down to TODO Task and type m to mark
7. B s (bulk schedule). The minibuffer will state:
(Re)Schedule to Date+time [2018-02-11]: [cursor] => <2018-02-11 Sun>
8. ++1y. The right part of the minibuffer now states
<2019-02-11 Mon>
I expected <2019-01-01 Tue>
9. RET.
The task is now rescheduled to <2019-02-11 Mon> rather than <2019-01-01
Tue> as initially expected.
