Org-capture template expansion properties & prompt references

[mnb100]

I don’t fully understand how this approach would solve the second problem (referencing the prompt in the template):

@mnb100

("d" "default" plain 
"This is a note about %\\1
%?"
:target (file+head "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-${slug}.org" 
":PROPERTIES:
:FOO: %^{foo prompt}
:END:
")
  :unnarrowed t)

But I guess I need to compromise and enter the same input for multiple prompts (discard the usage of prompt references altogether).

I thought there might be a solution which is less risky than what you have suggested here.

I’d create a custom function and add it to org-capture-after-finalize-hook.

@nobiot

; if not, move point,

I think finding the correct point would be rather difficult and unintuitive in the general case (as the references can occur at arbitrary places in the template).
