right, call-interactively uses the interactive form of the called
function to figure out the parameters and their values. Maybe you are
looking for something like this:


(defun set-foo-value (value)
  (interactive
   (list (read-string "prop value: " nil nil "<empty>")))
  (org-set-property "foo" value))

(call-interactively 'set-foo-value)
