Unfortunately inheritance of properties in Org-mode requires explicitly requesting the property by name (aside from a couple of built-in Org-mode properties e.g. CATEGORY)
I've just pushed up a change to org-collector which allows properties to be explicitly inherited using a new :inherit keyword, this is demonstrated in the example below. Having to explicitly mention the property to be inherited is not ideal, but hopefully it is sufficient. Cheers -- Eric * Inheritance #+BEGIN: propview :cols (ITEM test CATEGORY) :scope tree :inherit (test) | "ITEM" | "test" | "CATEGORY" | |--------------------+----------+---------------| | "Inheritance" | 0 | "inheritence" | | "First level" | "appear" | "level" | | "Test inheritance" | "appear" | "level" | |--------------------+----------+---------------| | | | | #+END: ** First level :PROPERTIES: :test: appear :CATEGORY: level :COLUMNS: %34ITEM %plats %ingredient :END: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-entry-get (point) "CATEGORY" t) #+end_src #+results: : level *** Test inheritance The org-collector uses the org-entry-properties function to collect properties. Notice that this function *only* inherits some special properties known to Org-mode #+begin_src emacs-lisp (flet ((to-table (lst) (mapcar (lambda (pair) (list (car pair) (cdr pair))) lst))) (to-table (org-entry-properties))) #+end_src #+results: | FILE | /home/eschulte/Desktop/inheritence.org | | BLOCKED | | | CATEGORY | level | in such properties are mentioned explicitly in the code of org-entry-properties, and the special function org-get-categories is used to collect (and inherit) categories. In fact even calling org-entry-get inside of this subtree with inheritance explicitly set to t is not sufficient to #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-entry-get (point) "CATEGORY" t) #+end_src #+results: : level #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-entry-get (point) "test" t) #+end_src #+results: : appear I expect to have the same behavior for CATEGORY and test properties. If you evaluate lisp expression you will notice that inheritance seems to works. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
