7.2 Special properties

Special properties provide alternative access method to Org mode features discussed in the previous chapters, like the TODO state or the priority of an entry. This interface exists so that you can include these states into columns view (see Column view), or to use them in queries. The following property names are special and should not be used as keys in the properties drawer:

     TODO         The TODO keyword of the entry.
     TAGS         The tags defined directly in the headline.
     ALLTAGS      All tags, including inherited ones.
     PRIORITY     The priority of the entry, a string with a single letter.
     DEADLINE     The deadline time string, without the angular brackets.
     SCHEDULED    The scheduling time stamp, without the angular brackets.
     TIMESTAMP    The first keyword-less time stamp in the entry.
     TIMESTAMP_IA The first inactive time stamp in the entry.
     CLOCKSUM     The sum of CLOCK intervals in the subtree.  org-clock-sum
                  must be run first to compute the values.
