I am not sure which property you are referring to. There is a number of possible solutions you may use depending on what is more appropriate for your specific use case: 1. Use overlays with 'priority property. That way, you can "overlay" the property above/below existing and Emacs will automatically restore the existing value upon removing your overlay. This is the most common approach. 2. You can utilize `char-property-alias-alist' and actually store your property value in a different property. This will make the priority of the existing property _strictly higher_ than yours. org-fold-core uses this approach. 3. You can store a "backup" of the existing property and restore it when your minor mode is disabled. isearch.el uses this approach. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
