Wow. I just wrote a response re-replicating my behavior and then went
to check the value of the variable to be sure!

org-id-link-to-org-use-id is a variable defined in ‘org-id.el’.
Its value is nil

That's interesting. So what did I set in my config??

(setq org-link-to-org-use-id 'create-if-interactive)

I changed to the correct variable name and all is well. Sorry for the
noise; it appears this is a super old variant of the variable based on
references I find on the web:
- http://git.net/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2012-04/msg01203.html
- 
http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=4b4328e29b2c286505c7f0be0e54a37a8d1fbc75

I must not have caught a change at some point but I *swear* it was
working within the last year.

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this issue.

[O] Org unique id behavior changed?

[John Hendy]

I just tried to recreate a unique id link from the mailing list and
was surprised to find that =C-c l= did not create a unique id
automatically.

>From the manual:[1]

C-c l (org-store-link)
...
If the headline has a CUSTOM_ID property, a link to this custom ID
will be stored. In addition or alternatively (depending on the value
of org-id-link-to-org-use-id), a globally unique ID property will be
created and/or used to construct a link (jwh adding: if org-id is
loaded).



Here's my min config:

#+begin_example

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org/lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org/contrib/lisp")

(require 'org-id)
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(setq org-link-to-org-use-id 'create-if-interactive)

#+end_example


Starting emacs with =emacs -Q= and then =M-x load-file ~/path/to/min-config=


File:

#+begin_example

* Alcohol^

Something

\newpage

* Another heading

Blah blah blah, see

#+end_example



With cursor at ^, I do =C-c l= and get this in the mini-buffer:
=Stored: Alcohol=

When trying to insert with =C-c C-l= I get this auto-completion suggestion:

Alcohol  

Normally that would have a unique-id, not file path/headline.

Org mode version 9.0.2 (release_9.0.2-140-g1c8908 @
/home/jwhendy/.elisp/org/lisp/)

Is this on my end (settings) or did something change? Doing this
definitely used to generate a unique id property drawer under the
linked headline and suggest it when going to insert the link
elsewhere.


Thanks,
John
