Hi Christian, you forgot the colon after PROPERTY, i.e. the following line at the beginning of the buffer does work:
#+PROPERTY: myprop don't ask (don't forget to refresh the buffer setup by typing C-c C-c with the cursor in that line). Then the call (org-entry-get (point) "myprop" t) returns "don't ask". Note the third argument (t), which allows inheritance.
