org-capture template property completion

org-capture template property completion

[dlc]

I am an emacs novice attempting to use an org-capture template.  The  
manual indicates completion is available while expanding %^{prompt}.   
Can one get completion on %^{prop}p for a property?  I tried the same  
syntax for prompt and that did not work.

If you want to prompt the user for property "MyProperty" you need to use
%^{MyProperty}p in the capture template.

While prompting the user for property "MyProtperty", Is there a way to  
get completion on the "MyProperty" value while in the org-capture  
bufffer?(...either ala the %^{prompt} format or by reading the  
property definitions in the destination file or buffer?)

Thank You!

e.g. :

:PROPERTIES:
:Effort: %^{prompt|0:10|0:20|0:30|1:00|2:00|3:00}
:END:

so you can choose the value of 'effort'?

almost... using %^{Effort|0:10|0:20|0:30|1:00}p in the org-template  
expansion, this would match the same format as the %^{prompt} expansion.

If only the stock property is provided in the template, e.g.  
%^{Effort}p  ... then property completion would look in the capture  
target for  #+PROPERTY  Effort_ALL 0:10 0:20 0:30 1:00 to provide the  
value list for the choosing of 'effort'
