Hi all

I have this example property drawer in a capture template

:PROPERTIES:
:ID: %(org-id-uuid)
:PLACE: %^{Place?|-|@work|@home|@pc|@family|@shop}
:END:

i was wondering, is it possible for a single property to take multiple
value? im thinking something similar to tags like

:TAG1:TAG2:

i would have a property value of

:PLACE: @home @ shop

and if its possible will i be able to search agenda etc values based on
just 1 of these properties?

best

Z

It is, per (info "(org) Using the property API"). See, e.g.,
`org-entry-get-multivalued-property'.

It is meant to be used in Elisp function, not as-is in an usual Org
workflow, though.

You would need to use it within a custom search (or filter) function,
I guess. I haven't checked if and how that's possible.
