When you set a property with `C-c C-x p', the prompt offers completion over all the properties that are found in the current buffer. Does that answer your question? Thanks Bastien. Yes and no:) In my example if I type ACC in the mini buffer Emacs returns No Match, whereas I assume it should offer ACCOUNTNO as a completion. This is not the current behavior. You have to actually use a property as a property (not as a column in the :COLUMNS: property) so that the prompt offers it for completion. But I agree it would be useful if Org were recognizing values in :COLUMNS: as properties, even when they are not yet in use. Yes, I just fixed this, thanks.

[Orgmode] Finding tasks without a specific property set
Hi all,
I'm using properties to track estimated effort on tasks. I have the
following setup for estimaged effort for tasks and use column view to
set the values normally.
,[ .emacs settings for property Effort ]
| (setq org-global-properties '((Effort_ALL . 0 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00
4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00)))
| (setq org-columns-default-format %40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated
Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM)
|
| (custom-set-variables
| '(org-agenda-custom-commands (quote ((W Waiting Tasks tags /WAITING
nil)
| (n Next Tasks tags /NEXT nil)
| (N Next Tasks - No Specified Duration
tags
-Effort=\0:10\-Effort=\0:30\-Effort=\1:00\-Effort=\2:00\-Effort=\3:00\-Effort=\4:00\-Effort=\5:00\-Effort=\6:00\-Effort=\7:00\-Effort=\8:00\/NEXT
nil)
| (h Next Home Tasks tags @home/NEXT
nil)
| (w Next Work Tasks tags @work/NEXT
nil)
| (E Errands To Run tags
@errand/-DONE-CANCELLED nil)
| (S Stuff To Do Someday tags
/SOMEDAY nil)
`
One of the things I do regularly (as part of my weekly review) is find
NEXT tasks with no Effort property so I can use column view to add a
value for each task with no effort estimate. I'm currently using a
custom agenda view (N) for this.
,[ Tags search for NEXT tasks with no Effort property assigned ]
| Headlines with TAGS match:
-Effort=0:10-Effort=0:30-Effort=1:00-Effort=2:00-Effort=3:00-Effort=4:00-Effort=5:00-Effort=6:00-Effort=7:00-Effort=8:00/NEXT
`
I haven't found a better way to do this other than to list all possible
Effort property values in a tags search. What I really want to match is
any NEXT task with no Effort property (or a Effort property value that
is blank)
Is there a way to do that?
I could just do a todo search for NEXT and go to column view and scan
down the list for blank entries... but my list of NEXT tasks is long
(currently 140). Hmmm actually that isn't too bad and the NEXT todo
search is much faster than my Next Tasks - No Specified Duration
search which takes 6-10 seconds to execute.
Maybe I answered my own question :)
Regards,
Bernt

[snipped]
For (3) and (4), my current thinking is to have workflow defined by
TODO keywords, e.g.
#+SEQ_TODO: ACTION WAITING | DONE
and to have action ownership defined via tags, e.g.
#+TAGS: { Alice(a) Bob(b) Carys(c) }
Then a dynamic columnview block at the end of the file could easily
extract all actions and summarise them so that each owner of action(s)
can easily see them. This is where sorting of rows in column view
would be really useful!
Hmm, actually column view doesn't let you filter the table so that
there are only rows corresponding to headers containing the 'ACTION'
keyword, so it looks like a custom dynamic block writer function will
be required. Is there an appropriate API I could use for extracting
all headers containing a given keyword from an org buffer?

Org-mode supports the cookies [/] and [%] to summarize the check status of the plain-list checkboxes below the headline.
