Hi all

i Have this item in a property drawer:

:people: %^{people?|-|allan|bob|joel}

now i have this custom agenda view defined


(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
'("sk" "wtd"
tags  "people=\"allan\""
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down effort-down)))
))

yet when i launch it it never finds any items which have a  :people: allan
entry in the drawer

what am i missing?

thx

Z

I believe you need to use regexp syntax. The above command will find
only find property values that exactly match "allan". The following
command will find property values containing "allan".

(add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands
             '("sk" "wtd" 
               tags "people={allan}"
               ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down effort-down)))
               ))

Best,
Matt
