Hi Thorsten,

This doesn’t directly related to this work, but I have been trying to
come up with a workflow for using org-mode for research and have had
trouble with the fact that user properties cannot be multi-valued. So
if a user wants to assign subjects to an entry, they need to figure
some way to assign multiple subjects.

There are workarounds, but it would be helpful if user properties
could be multivalued. I don’t know if this is feasible given the
current codebase; when I looked into it, it seemed pretty difficult.

best, Erik
