Bug: Org-babel-detangle does not work for subtrees [8.3.5 (8.3.5-elpaplus @ /home/andrea/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160808/)]

[Andrea Giugliano]

Hello,

I have an org mode file with deep subtrees (i.e., 7 stars nesting
level).
When I try to detangle a src block generated by

"
******* TODO find map
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       501cfff7-3b24-47cc-9ada-42e6d46abbe9
:END:

#+BEGIN_SRC ocaml :noeval :comments both :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/tmp/findMap.ml
anything here
#+END_SRC
"

and the generated file contains:

(* TODO find map *)
(* :PROPERTIES: *)
(* :ID:       501cfff7-3b24-47cc-9ada-42e6d46abbe9 *)
(* :END: *)


(* [[file:../home/andrea/workspace/agenda/myTasks.org::*find%20map][find\ map:1]] *)
anything here
(* find\ map:1 ends here *)

the detangle cannot find the header, and proposes me to create a new one
in the file.
I think that the ideal solution is to allow an user to make
org-babel-detangle rely on header IDs, since this not only assures
detangle to find the correct header every time, but also push the user
to use IDs through org-id (that seems good practice).
What do you think?
Thanks for the fantastic org mode!!

Andrea

Yes you should set a ID on every Headline and source-block
automatically using org-id so that detangling always works.

When you want a custom ID it is easily changed.
