This seems to be a frequent question. The problem of such an automatic property completion (and for consistency reasons calculated value completion) is that calculated values depend on other columns values. If there a multiple columns with calculated values, the order of calculation becomes important. This would be rather complex to track, especially since users may delete or change columns in between.

There is another solution that seems much simpler to me: You may create a macro that removes the calculated/property columns first and then freshly calculates them again. To do so:
- open file with the property columns
- start recording a new macro
- delete all property columns
- calculate all desired properties
- stop macro recording
- save the file. It now contains the macro, which can be started any time from the Macro menu.
