Hi John, Using %^T seems to give the desired behavior you describe in your message. Can you try it and see if it works for you? (Regrettably, it’s not obvious from the docstring of ‘org-capture-templates’ that it should behave like that, since %T is supposed to insert a time unconditionally. But in my testing, %^T only inserts a time if one is entered by the user.)
