Re: [FR] Support headline as a function for file+headline target for org-capture-templates

[Nafiz Islam]

The problem with my implementation is that it modifies the org file before prompting the user for item entry. As a result, if I cancel/abort my org-capture, that modification will still be present. I've made another attempt which is slightly more successful using advice.

(defun my/diary-capture-advice (oldfun r)
    (let ((org-capture-templates `(("d"
   "Diary Template"
   item
   (file+headline (lambda () (expand-file-name
      (concat org-directory "Diary" "/" (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d.org"))))
  ,(format-time-string (org-time-stamp-format t t) (current-time)))
   "- %?"
   :empty-lines 0))))
      (call-interactively oldfun)))

(advice-add #'org-capture :around #'my/diary-capture-advice)

What is the problem with it?
