Hi Carsten and list,
I'm starting to play with property drawers and I am thinking this would
be a good place to store estimated durations for tasks with something
like
* Task 1
:PROPERTIES:
:time: 10m
:END:
I'd like to define :time_ALL: globally since my estimated task durations
always fit into a set of values I'd like to share across all my org-mode
buffers.
I'd like to globally set up
:time_ALL: 10m 30m 1h 2h 4h 6h 12h 18h 24h 30h
so I can just use S-left and S-right to change the value for any task in
any org-mode buffer to select the appropriate estimated time for the
task.
I would prefer not to have to set this same :time_ALL: value in all of
my level 1 headers in each of my org-mode buffers since that is a lot of
duplication and this value is always the same -- if I ever want to
change the value I'll want it to apply globally across all of my
org-mode buffers.
Is there a way to do this?
Also I'd like org-insert-property-drawer to always have this :time: 10m
default entry when new property drawers are created. Is there a way to
specify the drawer template somehow?
Regards,
Bernt

Actually the property-related functions in Org have been set for this
purpose -- see the historical (!) thread here:

I don't know about any "global" solution for setting properties (except
for #+COLUMNS). But since you unleashed the word "template", i think we
could think about something like this:
#+PROPERTIES: :ITEM: A default heading
#+PROPERTIES: :time_ALL: 10m 30m 1h 2h 4h 6h 12h 18h 24h 30h
#+PROPERTIES: :time: 10m :TAGS: @HOME @WORK
(I think grouping is not important here, since it always a succession of
pairs like :keyword: value(s).)

Maybe you could advise `org-insert-property-drawer' like this:
(defadvice org-insert-property-drawer (after add-time-property)
"Add a :Time: property after inserting a property drawer."
(let ((pos (point)))
(org-entry-put (point) "Time" "10m")
(goto-char pos)))
(ad-activate 'org-insert-property-drawer)
Or even advise `org-insert-heading' [M-RET]:
(defadvice org-insert-heading (after add-custom-time-property)
"Add a custom :Time: property after heading insertion."
(let ((pos (point)))
(org-insert-property-drawer)
(org-entry-put (point) "time" "10m")
(goto-char pos)))
(ad-activate 'org-insert-heading)
Hope this helps,

Thanks!
I'll try that out. My lisp-foo isn't very strong yet :)
