Although the docstring of this variable also suggests that going in steps might not be best thing with completion packages like ido etc., but it doesn’t say that refiling wont work. So, I guess this is a bug.

Why it doesn't work with that variable set to t is, of course, another question but not one that is urgent (for me) now.

Refiling works for me. I have
(setq org-refile-targets '(("gtd.org" :regexp . "Task")
("someday.org" :level . 1)
("projects.org" :regexp . "Tasks")
(nil :tag . "refile")
(org-agenda-files :regexp . "Tasks")
(org-agenda-files :regexp . "Appointments")
(nil :maxlevel . 3)))
I use IDO, but at some point tried out ivy. I seem to remember having
some issues with it (I still have commented out ivy stuff in my
init.org). Unfortunately I can't remember whether the problems were
related to refiling :-/
Cheers,
Loris

I don't know if there is some spacemacs helm/ivy setup which plays a part here - it just works, so I've not looked any further. org version reports 9.4.4 -- Tim Cross

Hitting RET to select the completion target given (file > name only) refiles to the end of the file which is not what I want. I use the built-in completion framework. And if the org-refile-targets is nil, it shows me the top level headings from the same file in the *Completions* buffer when I press TAB. So, in your case, it looks like an Ivy issue. > This is with org updated fairly recently but not quite up to > date.

If I recall correctly, the only thing that does not play well between the two is `org-outline-path-complete-in-steps`. My basic setup is the following: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 6) ;; 'nil' means consider headings of the current buffer (nil :maxlevel . 6))) (setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file) (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) #+end_src That should get you started. I personally like org-refile for its quickness, so I do some extra work to filter out candidates of this list and keeping only the frequent targets (with `org-refile-target-verify-function'). And if something atypical arises, I just go with kill-yank. Note however, on the relation of org-refile and ivy: https://orgmode.org/list/87tuvrj7ww@gmail.com/ HTH, Gustavo.
