I tend to agree with that. Your case is a corner case I believe. We
can't keep on adding features which are not used widely. Specially
since file+function or function provides all the flexibility anyone
would ever want.

Can you provide your attempt? Maybe then others can point out what you
might be doing wrong.

Given a scope, it iterates over all headlines to find a match. All the
matches are accumulated in a list and returned. You have to provide
your matching function to org-map-entries. Without putting much thought
into it, I would propose the following algorithm:
1. Call org-map-entries in the full buffer scope looking for the date
you want.
2. Once you have the entry corresponding to the date, limit scope to
subtree and call org-map-entries again, this time looking for the
specific "Ticket" you want to add to.
Following (2), the template should be added as a sibling.
Hope this helps,
PS: Could you please not top-post. It is difficult to follow threads if
