I am unfamiliar with using the plural form of property, as you are trying, at buffer-level nor do I see documented possible here: https://orgmode.org/manual/Property-Syntax.html#Property-Syntax try this: #+property: header-args:sh :var user="loris" #+begin_src sh echo user: ${user} #+end_src Important: After adding or modifying the #+property line, you will need to instruct org to "refresh your local setup" which I typically accomplish by positioning the point on that line and typing C-c C-c > >Cheers, > >Loris > >-- >This signature is currently under construction. >
