Basic Q: Display specific property in custom agenda view

Basic Q: Display specific property in custom agenda view

Hello all,

My apologies for not finding this in the docs, but I'm trying to define a
simple custom agenda view that is exactly the same as the default day week
view,
except the only difference is displaying a property called FOO instead of
the CATEGORY
property.

I think it's simply a matter of setting org-agenda-prefix-format to
something
other than the default:  " %i %-12:c%?-12t% s" but I can't find the exact
function to call
in place of %i.  I would think there's something like
%(get-property-of-heading(FOO))

Thanks for any advice
--Nate

Got it!  Now, all I need to do is add the cool ":" functionality
where a ":" is appended to the result if there is a result :-)

Using %-12:(njn-get-proj-property)
doesn't work like %-12:c :-(

;; Return PROJ property or category property
(defun njn-get-proj-property()
  (or (org-entry-get (point) "PROJ" t)
      (org-get-category)))

  (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
     '(
     ("A" agenda "" (
        (org-agenda-span 'day)
          (org-agenda-prefix-format " %-12(njn-get-proj-property) %?-12t%
s")
         (org-agenda-include-inactive-timestamps nil)))

Maybe something like

;; Return PROJ property or category property
(defun njn-get-proj-property()
  (if (org-entry-get (point) "PROJ" t)
      (concat (org-get-category) ":")
    ""))

(untested)
