toggle a checkbox in a property

toggle a checkbox in a property

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

Look at this example

* Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       46b9eb11-e258-4dc9-bf56-3c2112cf6b0a
  :Received: [X]
  :END:

Using `org-shiftright'

I can obtain 

* Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       46b9eb11-e258-4dc9-bf56-3c2112cf6b0a
  :Received: [ ]
  :END:

But how can I obtain 

* Test
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       46b9eb11-e258-4dc9-bf56-3c2112cf6b0a
  :Received: [-]
  :END:

org-toggle-checkbox does not work for these sort of checkboxes.

regards

The [ ] <> [X] is hardcoded.
But you can always set Received_ALL property to provide a manual list of
allowed property values.

Best,

From  https://orgmode.org/guide/Properties.html

I tried 

* CD collection
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Box_ALL:  [-] [X]
  :Publisher_ALL: "Deutsche Grammophon" Philips EMI
  :END:


*** Goldberg Variations
    :PROPERTIES:
    :Title:     Goldberg Variations
    :Composer:  J.S. Bach
    :Publisher: Deutsche Grammophon
    :Box:      
    :END:

But it did not work, the value is not accpeted if I chose

Or 

* CD collection
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Box_ALL:  - X
  :Publisher_ALL: "Deutsche Grammophon" Philips EMI
  :END:


*** Goldberg Variations
    :PROPERTIES:
    :Title:     Goldberg Variations
    :Composer:  J.S. Bach
    :Publisher: Deutsche Grammophon
    :Box:      
    :END:

Then I don't get a box.
