The important piece of org-mode configuration is: org-minimal.el
(setq org-todo-keywords '( (sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n!)" "|" "DONE(d)"))) So I expect the following note to appear in LOGBOOK once I change the state from TODO to NEXT: :LOGBOOK: - State "NEXT" from "TODO" [2015-02-04 Wed 22:11] :END: It works perfectly fine if I change a state of a single task. But if select multiple TODO tasks in Agenda view and change all of them to NEXT in bulk, only the last task will have such "state change" record. I expect org-mode to create such "state change" note in LOGBOOK drawer for every task I'm changing. Now I'll describe my steps in a bit more detailed way, and afterwards you will find the system information I use. 1. emacs -Q -l ~/org-minimal.el ~/test.org 2. Create 3 tasks: * TODO task1 * TODO task2 * TODO task3 3. M-x -> org-agenda-file-to-front 3. M-x -> org-agenda -> t 4. Mark those 3 tasks 5. M-x -> org-agenda-bulk-action -> t -> NEXT The ACTUAL contents of ~/test.org is: * NEXT task1 * NEXT task2 * NEXT task3 :LOGBOOK: - State "NEXT" from "TODO" [2015-02-04 Wed 22:11] :END: The EXPECTED contents of ~/test.org is: * NEXT task1 :LOGBOOK: - State "NEXT" from "TODO" [2015-02-04 Wed 22:11] :END: * NEXT task2 :LOGBOOK: - State "NEXT" from "TODO" [2015-02-04 Wed 22:11] :END: * NEXT task3 :LOGBOOK: - State "NEXT" from "TODO" [2015-02-04 Wed 22:11] :END: Emacs: GNU Emacs 25.0.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2) of 2015-01-09 on lgw01-32 Package: Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-794-g55c070 @ /home/z0rch/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/lisp/)
