Dear all,
while trying to familiarize myself with org dates and to export an
org-file with C-c C-e c f to an ics-file I found some entries missing.
The snippet below reproduces the behavior that really confuses me:
When trying to export that as a file the entries CC and EE are missing
in the target ics-file. The only difference I can see is that the colon
before the keywords :DEADLINE: and :SCHEDULED: seems to be required for
export, but in the case of DEADLINE only if the entry is marked as TODO.
However, colons at the beginning are not required according to the
manual and not inserted by C-c C-d and C-c C-s.
To me that looks like a bug but may be I have overlooked something.
Could someone please check if that is simply me and my system or if it
is actually the default behavior. My org-version is 9.7.11, my Emacs
version 30.2 and I'm not aware that I have changed any relevant variables.
