Question

I have a task, that needs to be done daily with deadline in next day. So if I write in my .org file something like this:

** TODO Daily report
DEADLINE: <2012-07-27 Fri +1d> 
SCHEDULED: <2012-07-26 Thu +1d>

This produces rather nasty agenda with two lines for each day with the same text “Daily report”:

Friday     27 July 2012
Work:       Scheduled:  TODO Daily report
Work:       Deadline:   TODO Daily report

What I want is to be able to see the date after “Daily report” text with date added for which day the line corresponds. For example:

Friday     27 July 2012
Work:       Scheduled:  TODO Daily report for 27 July 2012
Work:       Deadline:   TODO Daily report for 26 July 2012

Is it possible?

Answer 1

No, it is not possible.

I would simply use SCHEDULED, not DEADLINE, as SCHEDULED implicitely means “Do it today in a single day” here, so the DEADLINE cookie introduces the redundancy you observe.
