Hello,
> I'm sure, it's only a small error of mine.
Replace `(mapcar #'list (org-entry-properties nil nil))` by
`(org-entry-properties nil nil)` in your `org-read-entry-property-name`
definition:
```
(defun org-read-entry-property-name ()
"Read a property name from the current entry (basically a rewrite of
org-read-property-name which uses org-entry-properties instead to speed
up)"
(let ((completion-ignore-case t)
(default-prop (or (and (org-at-property-p)
(org-match-string-no-properties 2))
org-last-set-property)))
(org-completing-read
(concat "Property"
(if default-prop (concat " [" default-prop "]") "")
": ")
(org-entry-properties nil nil)
nil nil nil nil default-prop)))
```
Regards,
tony / @ardumont
