org-collector.el does not deal with inherited properties well

Hello,

org-collector.el seems to fill "0" for properties that are inherited just
as it does for properties that are not defined for a particular headline
(for which also, 0 is poor choice; nil would have been better). This should
not be the correct behaviour. Or is it intentional, and I am missing
something?

Thanks and best wishes,

Vikas

Org-mode version: 9.4.5 (9.4.5-29-gc43041-elpaplus)

Sorry for writing before looking through the archives carefully.

Best wishes for everyone.

thanks for posting both the answer and the response.

By the way, org-collector.el is now part of org-contrib and in
lack of a maintainer.

If you feel like you can maintain it or can help looking for a
maintainer, please go wild.

Thanks!

I am not a big user of org-collector.el. I was only trying it for an
exercise, which I have abandoned because of lack of much interest
among others in my research group.

In any case, I hardly know lisp, and would not be able to either fix
things or review code contributed by others. I can contribute by way
of helping with documentation, if you need that for any part of org.

Yes, that's always helpful.  Thanks,
