It is exactly the problem. Inactive timestamps are not allowed in SCHEDULED/DEADLINE. > Was/Is that change on purpose? (I haven't seen anything in the > ChangeLog) Only internals changed. Previously, agenda used a dumb regexp search using this failing regexp (and skipped your problematic entry completely). Now, we first query parser cache, which considers your "someentry" as :scheduled. But agenda expects scheduled items to use active timestamps all the time, causing the error. We should update the parser to treat such malformed SCHEDULED/DEADLINE lines as ordinary paragraphs and report them in org-lint. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
