Could be done, of course, but adds complexity, and I am sure once it is there, people will want to switch TODO keywords constantly, filling the entire file with new #+TODO statements. Does not feel right. How about the following alternative: Just make a long sequence containing all the subsequences, like #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED TODO WAITING VERIFY DONE You can then use command like `M-5 C-c C-t' (or `5 t' in the agenda) to jump to TODO in this sequence. Basically, you need to remember where in your list the different sequences start, put items onto the right starting point, and then work through your states. Hmmm, looking at this it might actually be useful to allow additional DONE states in the middle of the sequence, but this will at least currently lead to problems, both when cycling from DONE to nothing to TODO, and also in the highlighting of TODO keywords in the agenda. I'll check if I can fix these small issues. I can see that my suggestion would add complexity in both code and org files. Supporting multiple DONE states would be a nice, especially if they integrate properly with the agenda.

Maybe we could use the same grouping conventions than for tags :
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT INPROGRESS WAITING { ACHIEVED DONE }
That would make it easy to have several states and just a few logging
steps. Consider the next sequence being just *three* states :
#+SEQ_TODO: { TODO NEXT } { INPROGRESS WAITING } { ACHIEVED DONE }
`- state 1 | |
`- log-state 2|
`- state 3
I quite like the idea of grouping the sequences within braces. However,
I think we might be describing (slightly) different things. To clarify
what I'd REALLY like to be able to do is to define different sequences,
for use within a single file, rather than a single sequence made up of
sub-sequences.
a hypothetical example:
#+SEQ_TODO: { TODO DONE } { BUG RESOLVED } { REQUIREMENTS DESIGN
DEVELOPMENT TESTING }
This would define 3 sequences which are each for different things, and
might even be unrelated, though nesting related sequences might be quite
nice:
* TESTING
** BUG
Bug report...
*** TODO Identify cause
Suspect foo is the problem.
Here I've assumed that the last state within each group is the final
DONE state, though it might also be pretty neat if multiple DONE states
could be supported.
Anyway, it's just an idea.
Thanks again,
R.

[Orgmode] org-mode multiple TODO sequences within a file.
Hi, I've been using org-mode happily for nearly 6 months and think it's a fantastic tool!! I've always quite liked Emacs, but org-mode has led to me really seeing Emacs's potential. I was however wondering if there was anyway for org-mode to support multiple TODO sequences within a single file. I tried specifying sections of the file as operating under particular sequences, but this doesn't seem to work (in 4.52) e.g.: #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED * BUG there is a bug in foo... * RESOLVED fixed bug. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE * TODO ask if org-mode can support multiple TODO sequences... * DONE shopping... A step even further might be to allow multiple TODO_SEQ which are bound to different keys, allowing the user to mix and match e.g.: * BUG blah blah ** TODO fix bug ** TODO celebrate I realise that I could use checkboxes for stuff like this, but they don't allow you to naturally specify a sequence. So whilst it makes sense for binary TODO-DONE transitions, for others it might not. Anyway, it's just a suggestion, and something which I feel might enable me to organise things even better.
