The help text for this variable (C-h v org-support-shift-select) includes:

"If you set this variable to the symbol ‘always’, then the keys
will not be special in headlines, property lines, and item lines,
to make shift selection work there as well.  If this is what you
want, you can use the following alternative commands:
‘C-c C-t’ and ‘C-c ,’ to change TODO state and priority,
‘C-u C-u C-c C-t’ can be used to switch TODO sets,
‘C-c -’ to cycle item bullet types,
and properties can be edited by hand or in column view."

Does that answer your question?

Best wishes,
