Aha, meanwhile I discovered that a dummy entry 

* Issues
   :PROPERTIES:
   :COLUMNS:  %50ITEM(Problem) %10Is(Issue Nr) %7TODO(Status) %26TAGS(Which) %17Date(Date) %7STATUS(Status){X/} 
   :ID:       Issues
   :END:

** <45>
   :PROPERTIES:
   :ID:      Issues 
   :Date:    
   :STATUS:   
   :Is:      0 
   :END:


Also works well sort of.

However, your solution is soo much *better* and works like charms, thanks a lot!

@maintainers, why not include this functionality into org-mode (most
likely  ‘org-insert-dblock.el’.
