org-mode clock-in in column view doesn't work on first clock-in?

Question

I like working in column view, as it shows me properties in columns.

I set clock-logging to go into the log drawer.

However, I've discovered that I can't clock in tasks unless a log-drawer already exists. It just says 'e' buffer is read only.

However, if I go out of column view, clock in once, the log-drawer is created and then go back into column view, then clocking in works.

Is this fix-able? If not, is there a way to always create a log-drawer whenever I mark a task as a 'TODO' task?

Answer 1

Yeah you can see the "todo" keyword to todo(!) which will cause org to log the creation of the todo keyword
