I would say so (that it's a bug), as doing it on a file-basis (within the "same property block") is well supported: #+PROPERTY: FOO 1 #+PROPERTY: FOO+ 2 * Contact Name #+begin_src emacs-lisp (org-entry-get (point) "FOO" 'inherit) #+end_src #+results: : 1 2 >>> … AFAIK the `+' is only supported at this stage for the `var' >>> property: you can't take any property and add a `+' to > > FALSE, the "var" property is in no way special when it comes to property > inheritance. All properties are treated equally. Sorry for insinuating it otherwise. And thanks for the correction! Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
