Given this file :PROPERTIES: :header-args:sh: :var A="this is a" :END: #+begin_src sh echo ${A} #+end_src #+RESULTS: : this is a I would like to move the properties drawer to a separate file and import it into the main one. To do so I'm using the `#SETUPFILE` property suggested [here][1], but this doesn't seem to work. ***main.org*** #+SETUPFILE: test.org #+begin_src sh echo ${A} #+end_src #+RESULTS: ***test.org*** :PROPERTIES: :header-args:sh: :var A="this is a" :END: [1]: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/59059/36590 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Emacs : GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2022-04-04 Package: Org mode version 9.5.2 (release_9.5.2-378-g98588e @ /home/eros/src/org-mode/lisp/)
