Hi!
Why is capture template 2 not working ("Invalid capture template")
and how can I fix it?
Thanks!
(setq my-capture-template-next "* NEXT %?\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED: %U\n:END:\n\n")
(setq org-capture-templates
'(
("1" "first version with string" entry (file+headline "~/share/all/org-mode/misc.org" "shorts")
"* NEXT %?\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED: %U\n:END:\n\n" :empty-lines 1)
("2" "second version with variable" entry (file+headline "~/share/all/org-mode/misc.org" "shorts")
my-capture-template-next :empty-lines 1)
))

Try
(setq my-capture-template-next "* NEXT %?\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED:
%U\n:END:\n\n")
(setq org-capture-templates
`( ; Note the backquote here!!
("1" "first version with string" entry (file+headline
"~/share/all/org-mode/misc.org" "shorts")
"* NEXT %?\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED: %U\n:END:\n\n" :empty-lines 1)
("2" "second version with variable" entry (file+headline
"~/share/all/org-mode/misc.org" "shorts")
,my-capture-template-next :empty-lines 1) ; and comma before
my-capture-..
))
My guess is you need to evaluate my-capture-template-next before putting it
in org-capture-templates and the backquote/comma above do that.

Oh, I see. I'm not that good with Elisp yet.
Unfortunately, adding the comma did not make the "Invalid capture
template" go away :-( This does not seem to be my (only) issue here...

I missed, that you replaced the single quote with a back quote. With
it, it works like charm.
Thank you for your help!
