Comments ignored some places but not others

I have old times on a event commented out. They don’t show up under notes until I hit edit, but they’re used for the timestamp of the event. It would be nice if the timestamp peeing correctly skipped over comments. Thanks!

Could you provide an example snippet from your Org file so I can look into this. Thanks!

I have a potentially related concern.

Many of my org entries have commented SCHEDULED and DEADLINE fields (i.e., lines like `# SCHEDULED<...>` where `#` begins a comment ).

I expected beorg to ignore commented lines, but instead these items appear in the agenda using the commented scheduled and deadline fields.

I request that beorg respect comments and not parse commented lines. Thank you!

This will be fixed in the next beorg update. Any lines which start with "# " (preceded by optional whitespace) will be ignored for the purposes of parsing dates.

Sorry it took a while to respnd Jesse to your post - it got filed in spam and only just spotted today.
