Consider the following org file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Orig Task 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-11-19 Sat +1w> :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2011-11-19 Sat 21:24] \\ foo CLOCK: [2011-11-18 Fri 20:30]--[2011-11-18 Fri 21:24] => 0:54 CLOCK: [2011-11-19 Sat 20:23]--[2011-11-19 Sat 21:23] => 1:00 :END: [2011-11-19 Sat 21:23] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is a repeating task with some clock time on it. Now I need to change the 2nd occurrence from now so I clone the task to create 2 more followed by the repeater as follows: On the task do C-c C-x c 2 RET +1w RET Now I get this so I can edit one of the individual entries --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Orig Task 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-11-19 Sat> :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2011-11-19 Sat 21:24] \\ foo :END: [2011-11-19 Sat 21:23] * Orig Task 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-11-26 Sat> :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2011-11-26 Sat 21:24] \\ foo :END: [2011-11-26 Sat 21:23] * Orig Task 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-12-03 Sat> :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2011-12-03 Sat 21:24] \\ foo :END: [2011-12-03 Sat 21:23] * Orig Task 1 SCHEDULED: <2011-12-10 Sat +1w> :LOGBOOK: - Note taken on [2011-12-10 Sat 21:24] \\ foo :END: [2011-12-10 Sat 21:23] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I have the entries I want but my original clock lines have been deleted. I would expect this behaviour for the newly created clones only - not the original entry. I ran into this for a weekly meeting task I cloned and ended up recovering my clock lines from my hourly git repository but this shouldn't be necessary. I'm also not sure exactly why I get 3 entries when I ask for two -- maybe that's a special case of the repeater in the original task but it feels weird.
