thx so much that works well. i tried to add another org-global-property entry (i assume thats possible) but then i didnt get completion for the second one. this is what i used (setq org-global-properties '(("Cuisine_ALL". "- Indian Thai Vietnamese Asian Chinese Israeli Italian American EastEuro Mexican French Persian Austrian Greek Fusion"))) (add-to-list 'org-global-properties '(("Rating_ALL". "- 1 2 3 4 5"))) i assume my syntax is wrong? thx!
