Re: [O] Setting multiple variables for code blocks in one property drawer
Hi Eric, Eric Schulte wrote: However try replacing :var: foo=a with :var+: foo=a which is valid and should work for your use case below. I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but even if I replace var with var+ in the child's property drawer, the value of bar that is set in the parent task is not available in the child task. Cheers, Viktor There are still some lingering issues with inheritance and Org-mode properties which I may try to address one of these days.

Thanks for your fix. The above example now works for me. However, I've noticed a problem with inheriting var properties. They are inherited in a child task only if the child task itself has no var property. Is this the intended behavior? See the example below. Yes, The example below is the intended behavior. The property mechanism is not tailored to variable setting, but is rather a general mechanism for the concatenation of property strings. Any property specification unless it is postfixed with a + will /reset/ the value of that property to its current value.

There also appears to be a difference between quoted and unquoted values and commatas. E.g. the following works :PROPERTIES: :var: foo=1 :var+: bar=2, baz=3 :END: #+BEGIN_SRC sh echo foo: $foo echo bar: $bar echo baz: $baz #+END_SRC If I remove the quotes around 2 I get the following error: ad-Orig-error: reference '2,' not found in this buffer On the other hand, the following version does not produce an error, but the value of $baz is not set. :PROPERTIES: :var: foo=1 :var+: bar=2, :var+: baz=3 :END: #+BEGIN_SRC sh echo foo: $foo echo bar: $bar echo baz: $baz #+END_SRC Yes, the comma results in the 2 not being parsed as a number, which means that it will then try to be understood by Babel (which thinks first of a reference unless the value is wrapped in quotes indicating it is a string). The moral is to not give references purely numerical names.
