Hi all so i just discovered today the org-global-properties im still strugling to understand how to use it in a capture template currently i use the %^{prompt} option to quick select from a list of items as following (add-to-list 'org-capture-templates '("ff" "Food" entry (file+headline (lambda () (concat pmm "/org/files/agenda/food.org")) "Inbox") "* COOK %^{Recipe Name} :PROPERTIES: :ID: %(org-id-uuid) :Time: %^{minutes|-|10|15|30|60} :END: " "Capture Template for food recipe" )) i have many of these captures and if i change 1 property i need to change all capture templates. from what i understand the org-global-properties will allow me to define it once and use it in all capture templates. yet i cant understand how. following the manual i tried this ;; Effort and global properties (setq org-global-properties '(("Effort_ALL". "0 0:10 0:20 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 6:00 8:00"))) (add-to-list 'org-capture-templates '("f" "Food" entry (file+headline (lambda () (concat pmm "/org/files/agenda/food.org")) "Inbox") "* COOK %^{Recipe Name} :PROPERTIES: :ID: %(org-id-uuid) :Effort_ALL: %^{Effort_ALL}p :END: " "Capture Template for food recipe" )) yet when i get to the Effort_ALL part it dosent prompt me for options. i assume im doing it wrong. can anyone point me in the right direction? thx Z
