Hi again,
I was referring to these functions:
- org-entry-put-multivalued-property
- org-entry-get-multivalued-property
- org-entry-add-to-multivalued-property
- org-entry-remove-from-multivalued-property
- org-entry-member-in-multivalued-property
described here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html
I've found a few discussions:
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/33457
- http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00251.html
I don't have anything working with them, as such,[1] and I was curious
if anyone did. They don't currently seem to be integrated into
completion, search functions, Babel, and so on, which would limit
their usefulness (though searching can be done with regexps). And I
think implementing wider support for them would run into a problem
with distinguishing between properties that are meant to be
multivalued, or and properties that just contain a single value which
happens to contain spaces.
But handling multiple var=value expressions in a :var: property for
Babel, as Darlan asked about, might perhaps be doable...? Stuff might
break, though.
Yours,
Christian
[1] I do have a small research database with some "multivalued"
properties in it. For queries, I use your org-collector and regular
expression matching against properties with multiple values. The
multivalued-properties functions didn't really come into it, except
that knowing they were there made me go ahead and put multiple values
in one property. (As it turned out, that wasn't a very good design
choice.)

Hi Christian,
That's the first I've heard of that variable? If you do get something
working with multivalued properties please do share.

Hi, Eric,
Just curious: What about the org-entry--multivalued-property functions
mentioned in "Using the properties API"?
Is anybody using multivalued properties for anything?
Yours,
Christian

Unfortunately org-mode properties only allow a single entry for any
given key, so you can only specify one variable using properties.
However the following workaround does exist.
*** alternative
:PROPERTIES:
:var: vars=variables
:END:
#+tblname: variables
| var1 | 1 |
| var2 | 2 |
#+begin_src python
print vars[0][1]
print vars[1][1]
#+end_src

I'm using org-babel to automate a few tasks and I'd like to define a few
variables that are common to several code blocks as sub-tree properties.
It works when I have only one variable, where I can use
* Heading
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1"
:END:
#+begin_src python :results output
print variable1
#+end_src
#+results:
: value1
Is it possible to set multiples variables in this way?
I tried things like
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1" variable2="value2"
:END:
:PROPERTY:
:var: variable1="value1",variable2="value2"
:END:
:PROPERTY:
:variable1: "value1"
:variable2: "value2"
:END:
but none of them worked.
