I am not sure. Such a change risks to be a breaking change and thus may need to be justified (unless there is no code in the wild implicitly assuming that property value is only listed once in the return value). Could you please explain what benefit would the change give in practice? The current situation with duplicate properties is that they are simply creating ambiguity and may even break things in Org. Note that you can still see the full list of all properties as written in properties drawer by examining property drawer syntax element. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
