There is an [unresolved issue](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/capture-template-is-in-use/2427) on this forum that seems to report the same problem.

From a quick glance, the config does not look like it is a cause of the issue you experience. I have never had this issue and cannot reproduce it on my end.

As your “roam config” does not seem to be the source of the problem, it is likely that the source of your problem is elsewhere, including: other parts of your personal configuration, unreleased Org version, Emacs version, any interaction of these. A couple of comments / questions:

- Do you use Doom Emacs?
- `custom.el` is not used by Emacs without configuration – do you use any other Emacs configuration / framework?
- What’s your Emacs version?
- What’s your Org version?
- What other configuration you have? Especially Org related or buffer name related (the issue seems to be that when you do `org-roam-node-find` to capture a new note, the buffer name is already present for some reason and you cannot create another buffer with the same name)
