Yes and no:) In my example if I type ACC in the mini > buffer Emacs returns No Match, whereas I assume it should offer > ACCOUNTNO as a completion. This is not the current behavior.

But I agree it would be useful if Org were recognizing values in :COLUMNS: as properties, even when they are not yet in use. -- Bastien
