I recently updated Org-roam, and now `:id: %(downcase "${id}")` in my capture template isn’t working anymore, instead it does ‘ID’ upper-case.

Why would the new update be doing this? How would I fix it?

Sounds like a bug introduced in recent changes to capture. I’d suggest to create an issue in the GitHub project.
