Adding the date to the CLOSED tag in emacs org-mode

Question

I have started using emacs org-mode recently to maintain my TODO lists. I have used it before a long time back. Back then, I was able to automatically add a date whenever moving a task from TODO to DONE tag adding a CLOSED: sub-label to the DONE label.

However, I forgot how to do that. Can anyone help tell me how to add the CLOSED tag. in org-mode

Answer 1

You can achieve this by setting the following variable (See the Org Manual for more info and further customization if desired).

(setq org-log-done 'time)
