Hi,

Would it be possible to show all the key-values of PROPERTIES for a
node without having to explicitly specify its columns in ":COLUMNS:"
in the column view mode?

I am trying to use an org file as a key-value store, so I don't expect
all the node elements to have the same PROPERTIES. As of now, I need
to explicitly define :COLUMNS: for each entry. For example:

=== test.org ===

* Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS: %35ITEM %5ID
  :ID: 1
  :END:
* Exam
  :PROPERTIES:
  :COLUMNS: %35ITEM %15APPROVED
  :APPROVED: Yes
  :END:

=== END ===

Appreciate your inputs in this regard,

Thanks!

SK

The usual way would be

=== test.org ===

#+COLUMNS: %35ITEM %5ID %15APPROVED
* Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       1
  :END:
* Exam
  :PROPERTIES:
  :APPROVED: Yes
  :END:

=== END ===
