Hi David,

Use S-<left> or S-<right> instead.

That the keybinding for cycling through properties values' from within
the :PROPERTIES: drawer, and since priorities are just special properties,
the column view allows you to cycle through values with the same key.

This is only the case for properties that have a finite set of
possible values you can cycle through.  For others like SCHEDULED,
using C-c C-s will do.

HTH,
