Hi All, I had asked a similar question on StackOverflow a long time ago (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4872088/is-there-any-way-for-subtasks-to-inherit-deadlines-in-org-mode) and one of the answers was useful to me - namely, http://stackoverflow.com/a/8920418/137430.
Adding the answer here for sake of completion. "How about a function for adding subtasks? This one adds a deadline to the subtask if its parent has one: (defun my-org-insert-sub-task () (interactive) (let ((parent-deadline (org-get-deadline-time nil))) (org-goto-sibling) (org-insert-todo-subheading t) (when parent-deadline (org-deadline nil parent-deadline)))) Don't forget to bind it to a key: (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c s") 'my-org-insert-sub-task)" On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 12:46 PM, Bastien <b...@gnu.org> wrote: > > Hi Fabrizio, > > Fabrizio Chiarello <fabrizio.chiare...@ieee.org> writes: > > > I solved by adding the following block in the agenda: > > This is a nice and useful hack. > > Can you consider adding it to Worg/org-hacks.org? > > If you want, just send me the .org content that I would > add to org-hacks.org.

It takes a genius to understand it's simplicity. - Anon People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world. - Calvin.
