Showing the section name for an empty section?

[PaddyPatPat]

Hi there,
The past issues have dealt a few times with hiding empty sections/groups. I am wondering if the opposite is possible?

I have grouped NEXT actions for each of my projects, with each project displayed in its own section. Where I see an empty section (no NEXT action) I know that I need to go select a TODO to make into a NEXT action. However at the moment empty sections do not show their name.

I see that there is org-super-agenda-hide-empty-groups which I thought might help but that this is off by default.

Is there a way that I can have org-super-agenda display the name of an empty section even if it is empty?

Well, you can see where that option was added in fd08d0b, discussed in #56 and #77. If the option is disabled but empty groups aren't being shown, that would seem like a bug, and I would guess that something has changed in a newer version of Org that you may be using, so please share that information. Maybe @cslux will be able to help debug it. Thanks.

[PaddyPatPat]

Ah yes of course. Thank you @alphapapa (and @cslux).

To answer your question:
Org mode version 9.6 ( @ /Users/patrick/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6/)
GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin21.6.0, NS appkit-2113.60 Version 12.6 (Build 21G115)) of 2022-09-25

I'll try to create a PR with a fix ( 🤞🏽 ) for it in the next couple days.

@PaddyPatPat Changing the value of org-super-agenda-header-properties to '(org-super-agenda-header t org-agenda-structural-header t) should fix it. Worked for me! Better solution would be, of course, to always set this "required" property. See #237 @alphapapa

Finally fixed. Thanks to all.

Apologies if I got something wrong, but is it possible that this issue is back?

I have org 9.8-pre 1c98731d5, org-super-agenda 1.4-pre c07e354, emacs 29.4., vanilla config, and by default org-super-agenda-hide-empty-groups is set to nil, however empty groups are not shown (their title is not shown, it is as if that group never existed).

[alphapapa]

@Martinsos Sure, it's possible, especially if you're using a pre-release version of Org. You should probably check its commit history for commits related to the agenda and text properties. If you can find the problem, you can either propose a change upstream, or here, depending on the details.

Thanks @alphapapa ! I have to admit I didn't opt-in to using pre-release version conciously -> I started using Elpaca recently and I am still lacking somewhat in knowledge both on its details + also emacs package management in general. I guess it just pulls in the latest release regardless of it being pre-release or "stable" release hm, I might want to make sure it doesn't do that. And thanks for the advice regarding commits, that is probably what I should do. Awesome, thanks again!

@Martinsos This issue returned indeed, see #254
