Re: org-refile failed due to default option stored by org-goto

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

if you are willing to try something as a complete stab in the dark,
here is something i have had from many years ago that fixed issues
possibly including a defaulting issue.  the issues include other stuff
too, but i do not understand the code now for health reasons to rule
this out as a solution to your problem in addition to the problem i
put in the comment and name.  i havce carried along this patch for
eyars.
