IIUC what you did, then yes and yes.

This is the accepted idiom:

#+PROPERTY: header-args :tangle yes

Remember that if you add or change that line you need to update with C-c C-=
c or `org-mode-restart'.

Maybe you omitted the `header-args'. That used to be correct syntax but was=
 obsoleted some time back.

See (info "(org) Using Header Arguments")
