Hi all, As for a recent git version, calling org-store-link on a subtree records its statistics cookie¹ in the link, which therefore breaks if the said statistic is changed (with “no match - create this as a new heading ?”)
Links not featuring the progress cookie succeed at finding the headline which has such a cookie, so I suggest the statistics cookie is removed from the captured link (just like the priority cookie was). -- William ¹ http://orgmode.org/manual/Breaking-down-tasks.html
