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'
