Issue with TODO items and automatic updating of [%] and [/] in header.

[theboocock]

HI All,

I am having trouble reproducing the percentages and number of finished tasks as shows here in the example file, My file looks like.

organize part [%]
** TODO call peoplee [/]
*** TODO PETER
*** DONE SARAH
** TODO BY food
** DONE TALK to nei

<

If I run c# both the [%] and [/] are not updated to the expected values.

Does anyone have any advice.

The relevant section of the org guide file follows.

Breaking tasks down into subtasks~

It is often advisable to break down large tasks into smaller, manageable
subtasks. You can do this by creating an outline tree below a TODO item,
with detailed subtasks on the tree. To keep the overview over the
fraction of subtasks that are already completed, insert either ‘[/]’ or
‘[%]’ anywhere in the headline. These cookies will be updated each time
the TODO status of a child changes, or when pressing C-c C-c on the
cookie. For example:

* Organize Party [33%]
** TODO Call people [1/2]
*** TODO Peter
*** DONE Sarah
** TODO Buy food
** DONE Talk to neighbor

<

c# Update the checkboxes status of current heading. It also
update the heading status too.

Hi smilefreak,

For current implementation, vim-orgmode only checkes for checkbox status.
Need to fix this by updating heading status (TODO, DONE).

I imagine the logic will be similar in form to that for checkboxes, maybe I will have a go at implementing it at some point. Definitely a feature I would like to see.

It appears that this issue is already solved. Appending [%] or [/] after the heading or checkbox/plainlist with checkbox children will do. The function is also documented in orgguide.txt. Closing the issue.

How is this issue closed? It still doesn't work as it is currently documented. It only checks direct children with a check boxes, but it completely ignores TODO or DONE. This example taken from the documentation does NOT work:

* Organize Party [33%]
** TODO Call people [1/2]
*** TODO Peter
*** DONE Sarah
** TODO Buy food
** DONE Talk to neighbor

It won't update the % of "Organize Party" and it won't update the / of Call People unless you replace every TODO and DONE with check boxes.

I don't want to be rude or something, but I would love this to work and it just doesn't.
