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
