I got a problem when more than one Emacs package competing on setting
text-property on same target from different packages.
Here is the original problem and discussion link:
https://github.com/nobiot/org-transclusion/issues/166
Does anybody have a good idea to solve this problem?
Thanks for your idea and suggestions.

I am not sure which property you are referring to.
There is a number of possible solutions you may use depending on what is
more appropriate for your specific use case:
1. Use overlays with 'priority property. That way, you can "overlay" the
property above/below existing and Emacs will automatically restore
the existing value upon removing your overlay. This is the most
common approach.
2. You can utilize `char-property-alias-alist' and actually store your
property value in a different property. This will make the priority
of the existing property _strictly higher_ than yours. org-fold-core
uses this approach.
3. You can store a "backup" of the existing property and restore it when
your minor mode is disabled. isearch.el uses this approach.
