I have this variable org-use-property-inheritance set as 'nil' and have the following contents in the file. ---------------------------------------------------------- #+COLUMNS: %25ITEM %10Age #+PROPERTY: Age_ALL 1 2 3 4 5 6 * Heading 1 * Heading 2 ---------------------------------------------------------- With this I am able to edit Age property using C-c C-x C-c and by pressing e on Age column for both the headings.
