What I meant was:

Suppose I have an org file like this:

* Level 1 heading
*** Level 2 heading

With my settings (setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2)))) , when I try to refile an item, I press the TAB key, the auto-completion buffer will display

Level 1 heading
Level 1 heading / Level 2 heading

If I want to put the refile item under "Level 1 heading", I can not select "Level 1 heading" ("Level 1 heading" will show in the mini-buffer, but pressing RET key does not do anything, meaning org thinks this is an invalid target location).

This works fine for me, I don't know what might be causing this. maybe some
completion package you are using?

Hi, Carsten,

It seems I found the cause of this.

I have the following in my emacs config:

(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2))))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path t)

When using org-refile, the completion suggestions I got is (using example in my original example)

Level 1 heading (xyz.org)
Level 1 heading / Level 2 heading (xyz.org)

Note there is a space between "Level 1 heading" and "(xyz.org)", so if I type "Level" and press TAB key, the minibuffer will get a completion up to "Level 1 heading" without the space, and I though this is a valid selection but org-mode refuses to take it. What is actually happening is, org-mode needs the " (xyz.org)" too. so if I add a space after "Level 1 heading", and press TAB key again, the minibuffer will get a completion to "Level 1 heading (xyz.org)" and now org-mode thinks this is a valid selection.

My feeling is the above is a little bit counter-intuitive. If there is no multiple files with the same heading "Level 1 heading", I would think "Level 1 heading" should be considered a valid selection from the completion buffer. What do you think?

Thank you.

Wanrong
