You should be able to run C-c C-c on #+property: directives before the
first headline and they will be updated without reloading the buffer.

Properties on buffer level

[Christine Köhn]

Hi,

I'm using properties on buffer level to specify header-args for source
code blocks. I noticed that properties defined with #+PROPERTY: before
the first headline do not work unless the buffer is reloaded, but
properties defined in drawers work just fine. Are properties on buffer
level supposed to work like this?

The values set with #+PROPERTY: seem to be read from
org-keyword-properties which seems to be set only at startup. In
contrast, the values set in drawers are read dynamically with
org--property-local-values.

Best,
Christine
