It is possible to hide common properties in drawers (and show all other) using org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility.

I have only used column view for clock times and efforts, not imagining that it could be used for something as simple as revealing the PROPERTY drawers. Of course, I'll either have to rationalise my PROPERTIES (at present, no two headings have the exactly the same drawers) or stack headings with same PROPERTIES. That will be a good exercise. Thank you again. I would never have thought of something so simple and elegant.

I work on the basis that I want to see what I write - if I didn't then I wouldn't have written it. It’s also possible, if you want finer control of what’s shown (instead of showing all the properties), to add a 'columnview' block. It would show a formatted table of whichever properties you specify (from certain subtrees or from the entire file), arranged in the order you choose. It’s under “Capturing column view” in the manual. I seem not to keep the types of information that benefit from it, but it’s there. -- David Rogers

I've found that "C-u C-u C-u" as a prefix to gives me immediately what I want. I'll look to modify the org-cycle-hook at a quieter time later. Thanks again. Best wishes, Colin.

Take a look at default org-cycle-hook value. You can remove org-cycle-hide-drawers from there.

I can use showeverything in STARTUP of course and this does indeed open the drawers. However the drawers close and remain closed after multiple uses of -. Therefore my question is how can I again reach the showeverything status without closing down the file and re-opening it? Colin Baxter.
keep org drawers visible
Hello, Property drawers remaining invisible even when I use - drives me nuts. I know about M-x org-hide-drawer-toggle but how do I keep the drawers open all the time without having to toggle? I work on the basis that I want to see what I write - if I didn't then I wouldn't have written it. Thanks. Best wishes, Colin Baxter
