Not in the way you told that you think of. But another solution is to set org-deadline-warning-days to 0 and then set the deadline-individual explicit warning period only when not 0. Be aware of that the behaviour of the deadlines written before and without an explicit warning period will change. They will not warn any more before the due date. Adapt them to the new setting where they need -14d or the like. Side note: If -3d is typed into the date+time prompt of C-c C-d it will not end up in the edited Org buffer, so I add it always only after that step. Michael
