Yeah. So, I do not use it for now until me or someone else fixes the
issue.

For now, I just edit the properties drawer manually or use custom
setters utilising org-set-property.

You can always generate a list of options using `completing-read'.
Example:

(completing-read
 "Category: "
 (org-ql-select (org-agenda-files t t)
 '(property "CATEGORY")
 :action (lambda () (substring-no-properties (org-entry-get (point) 
"CATEGORY")))))

You may want to customise `org-id-method'. Also, I often use
`org-capture-ref-generate-key-human-readable' from my org-capture-ref
package [1].
