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
