The COLUMN property just defines = the column view, not the = properties
themselves. When you set a = property with `C-c C-x p', the prompt = offers
completion over all the properties that are found in the = current buffer.

Does that answer your = question?

Thanks Bastien. = Yes and no:) In my example if I type ACC in the = mini
buffer Emacs returns No = Match, whereas I assume it should offer
ACCOUNTNO as a completion.

This is not = the current behavior.

You have to actually use a property = as a property (not as a column in
the :COLUMNS: property) so that the = prompt offers it for completion.

But I agree it would be useful = if Org were recognizing values in
:COLUMNS: as properties, even when = they are not yet in use.

Yes, I just fixed this, = thanks.
