Re: [O] org-capture-template: How to correctly capture email addresses?
Hi, If org-contacts-template-email doesn't find an address, it doesn't insert a simple text prompt, it inserts a property prompt, which sets the property. A property prompt does not need to be positioned in an explicit property drawer in the template -- in fact, it looks like that will not work. Removing the EMAIL property and moving the %(org-contacts-template-email) field out of the property drawer works: (setq org-capture-templates '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline ~/org/agenda.org Tasks) * TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a) (c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry (file+headline ~/org/contacts.org Contact) * %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g %(org-contacts-template-email) :PROPERTIES: :URL: :WORK: :HOME: :MOBILE: :LOCATION: :BIRTHDAY: :NOTE: :END:))) You still get EMAIL at the end of the property drawer, but the order is arbitrary anyway. You could replace the whole properties drawer with property prompts: (setq org-capture-templates '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline ~/org/agenda.org Tasks) * TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a) (c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry (file+headline ~/org/contacts.org Contact) * %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g %(org-contacts-template-email) %^{URL}p %^{WORK}p %^{HOME}p %^{MOBILE}p %^{LOCATION}p %^{BIRTHDAY}p %^{NOTE}p))) ...but then you'd be prompted for everything, each time; you may not want that. Yours, Christian
