search for property XYZ_ALL

search for property XYZ_ALL

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I try to search for an inherited property with

	test_ALL="something"

and
	test="something"

but I don't get anything for an exiting
:Property:
	:test_ALL:something
:END:

I just tried it with 5.11b....
Is there a different way to search for it?
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

properties are currently *not* inherited, at least in general they are 
not.  This would cause a large overhead in searching.

Having said that,  I do use inheritance for a couple of special
properties, so your expectation is not surprising.  Maybe I
should allow inheritance with a variable and then let
you decide yourself it is worth it....

Yes, interesting exercise, and not much work.

Look for the variable `org-use-property-inheritance' when 5.12
is released, and please report back.
