I'm messing about with some similar template-placement routines, so I tried your recipe below, and it worked for me... Capture by default will create a child of the heading point is on, so I really don't see why this wouldn't work. You've stepped through the function and confirmed that the (goto-char (point-at-bol)) line leaves you at the "Log" heading? Is the tree structure folded or open at the time? You might try an (org-reveal) after the (org-clock-goto); I'm still not really clear on the interaction between visibility and heading insertion. I think you're note about "if cursor is at beginning of headline, same level used" doesn't really apply here, as the capture process does a lot more than just pasting a subtree. Anyway, I can't reproduce the problem -- do try messing with visibility... Eric
