Hi
I have

Now, I would add to all subheadings a new property, say

Whose value I will then individually change later.
Any idea how to do that

Check out org-map-entries. I have one example here:

Very nice thanks however one question.
I started as test with
#+begin_src
** TODO Test
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:END:
** WAIT Test2
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:END:
** TODO Test3
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:END:
#+end_src
I then used the code:
#+begin_src elisp :noexport
(defun test/set-property-at-heading ()
"Function to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(interactive)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
(org-set-property "foo" (org-element-property :title el))))
(org-map-entries #'test/set-property-at-heading)
#+end_src
And indeed ended up with
#+begin_src
#+COLUMNS: %TODO %40ITEM(Task) %40SUMMARY(Summary) %Received(Rec)
** TODO Test
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:foo: Test
:END:
** WAIT Test2
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:foo: Test2
:END:
** TODO Test3
:PROPERTIES:
:Sent: [ ]
:foo: Test3
:END:
#+end_src
However I wanted to insert a checkbox not a title so I tried
#+begin_src
#+begin_src elisp :noexport
(defun my-set-property-at-heading ()
"Function to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(interactive)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
(org-set-property "New" (org-element-property "[ ]" el)))))
(org-map-entries #'my-set-property-at-heading)
#+end_src
But this did not work, I am either asked all the time (but I have 200
headers), or it does not work at all. I also tried
#+begin_src elisp :noexport
(defun my-set-property-at-heading ()
"Function to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(interactive)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
(org-set-property "New2" (org-element-property :checkbox el))))
(org-map-entries #'my-set-property-at-heading)
#+end_src
Thanks again

Try replacing the `org-set-property` form to:
(org-set-property "New" "[]")

Did you replace only the `org-set-property` form with my suggestion?
In any case, I got to a computer and I tested that to work alright.

Aha, *great* thanks a ton. That really really saved my day.
Two comments though
1. It works, if the source block is at the beginning of the file 😉
2. I confess I don't understand anymore the use of `(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))':
a. In your first version you used the defined «el», but know you
don't, hm just saying.
In any case thanks again for this very valuable advice. I suggest to
include it somehow in the documentation, since I believe that other
users have encountered similar situations.

That's because the first version used the actual headline title as a
value of the property. That values had to be acquired somehow.
org-element API was used.

I expressed myself rather badly
1. First code
(defun test/set-property-at-heading ()
"Function to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(interactive)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
(org-set-property "foo" (org-element-property :title el))))
^el is used
(org-map-entries #'test/set-property-at-heading)
2. Second code
(defun test/set-property-at-heading ()
"Function to be called at the beginning of an Org heading."
(interactive)
(let ((el (org-element-at-point)))
^el is defined but not used.
(org-set-property "New" "[ ]")))
(org-map-entries #'test/set-property-at-heading)
>> In any case thanks again for this very valuable advice. I suggest to

Is this a reference to the manual?

Correct. The el variable is not required here. It's a relic from the
previous version of that function.

Yes. You can access those from within Emacs as Info manuals:
