Re: Question About Nuking The Priority Of A Task After Its Been Marked As 'DONE'

[Samuel Banya]

Rather, thanks Samuel Loury! :)

Good to know great Sam's exist that like Emacs out there ;)

I tried it today, and this totally worked in my config.

Thanks a ton for this, very cool function, and SUPER useful for me as I mark stuff as 'DONE' a ton within my workflow for tickets at work.

Thanks again!

Sam

Hey Konibunix!

Thanks a ton for this, this looks fun as heck to implement :)

I'll have to try this on my config sometime next week. Thanks a ton for this, bookmarking this post for now.

Love it :)

To do it globally:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(defun my/org-trigger-hook (change-plist)

  (let* ((type (plist-get change-plist :type))

         (pos (plist-get change-plist :position))

         (from (substring-no-properties (or (plist-get change-plist :from) "")))

         (to (substring-no-properties (or (plist-get change-plist :to) "")))

         )

    (when (and

           (eq type 'todo-state-change)

           (member to org-done-keywords)

           (member from org-not-done-keywords)

           )

      (org-priority (string-to-char " "))

      )

    )

  )

(add-hook #'org-trigger-hook

          #'my/org-trigger-hook)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But if, like me, you want to define this behavior per task, this is one

of the purposes of org-edna. I suggest you try it.

I your particular example, you would simply set the TRIGGER property of

the task for which you want to delete the priority to this content

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* NEXT [#B] some task

:PROPERTIES:

:TRIGGER: self() set-priority!(" ")

:END:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Closing it would result in

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

* DONE some task

  CLOSED: [2021-12-11 Sat 13:38]

:PROPERTIES:

:TRIGGER: self() set-priority!(" ")

:END:

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Of course, it also work for repeated task or any complicated scenario

I have tried so far.

I hope that helps,
