Sure you can with an appropriate hook function. This is what I use to prevent clock in to NEXT when it is a capture task or a project/subproject (ie. any task with subtasks) You can modify it to use a property instead to achieve what you want. The helper functions (bh/is-task-p, bh/is-project-p) are available at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html Regards, Bernt --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; Change tasks to NEXT when clocking in (setq org-clock-in-switch-to-state 'bh/clock-in-to-next) (defun bh/clock-in-to-next (kw) "Switch a task from TODO to NEXT when clocking in.
