So when I changed the above contact entry to
* Contact Name
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: f...@bar.org
:EMAIL+: b...@baz.org
:END:
I would have expected (org-entry-get (point) "EMAIL" t) to evaluate to, well,
at least "f...@bar.org b...@baz.org" (and in some later version of org-mode
maybe to a two-item list, for even easier automated processing). But I got
the following unexpected results, which indicate that accumulation is not yet
supported in this context (well, if it was ever _intended_…):
… AFAIK the `+' is only supported at this
stage for the `var' property: you can't take any property and add a `+' to
transform it in an accumulative property.
Whether this should be restricted by default or open by default, I have no
opinion at this stage.
If it is intended to be limited to the "var" property, then at least the
documentation ("Property syntax") needs fixing, as it states generally:
If you want to add to the value of an existing property, append a
`+' to the property name.
But thanks a lot for pointing this out:
I know, however, multivalued properties are sort of already well supported.
See http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-property-API.html for more info.
Cheers,
Christoph
