Thanks.

As far as I know it is not currently possible to get property

I don't understand: when I call "org-set-property" directly from the file
(C-c C-x p), it does get all the property values in the file and proposes
them for completion. I am probably missing your pint, could I ask you to
explain?

Only when I use the "%^{prop}p" capture template element are the values not
offered. I don't understand why because looking at the code of
"org-capture-fill-template", it seems to simply call "org-set-property" for
this element.

but you could still make use of the stock property in the template and

Yes I've read the rest of the thread, but that's not always feasible. In my
use case, the property values are titles of academic journals, I can't list
them all inside a "%^{prompt}" template element, I need them to be fetched
from the file.

Thanks again.

Eric
