Help with template and file+olp

It seems like org-id-get-create expects the buffer to be visiting a file

(error ‘org-id-get’ expects a file-visiting buffer)

This below seems to work for me (lightly tested). I guess you’d need to adjust the function according to the ID you use (e.g. I use a certain date format instead of uuid).

  (setq org-roam-capture-templates
        '(("d" "default" plain "%?" :target
           (file+head "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org" "#+title: ${title}\n")
           :unnarrowed t)
          ("m" "movie" plain "*** ${title}\n :PROPERTIES:\n :ID: %(org-id-uuid)\n :RATING:\n :END:\n%t\n"
           :target (file+olp "movies.org" ("Watched")
           ))))
