I have this variable org-use-property-inheritance set as 'nil' and have
the following contents in the file.
----------------------------------------------------------
#+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %10Age
#+PROPERTY: Age_ALL 1 2 3 4 5 6
* Heading 1
* Heading 2
----------------------------------------------------------
With this I am able to edit Age property using C-c C-x C-c and by
pressing e on Age column for both the headings.
Thanks and Regards
