Level specification in refiling target

Level specification in refiling target

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi,

I have a line like this (copied from the org release notes)

(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:level . 2))))

My intention was to have all headings in level 2 AND level 1 in the 
target list. But it seems only level 2 headings are in the list. Is 
there a way to do it? If not, can we consider adding that? Thanks a lot.

This makes sense.

Here is a dumb patch against Org 5.16b that should implement the
expected behavior.  

diff -u /home/guerry/elisp/testing/org-5.16b/ /home/guerry/elisp/testing/tmp/org.el

I'm not sure it's the right thing to do, though.  Maybe it's better to
let the user define the level as a string of the form "1,2" (for levels
one to two, or "2,5" (for levels 2 to 5) or "5," etc.

In 5.17, you will be able to do

(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files . (:maxlevel . 2))))
