Hi!
I have this current capture
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates '("bb" "Work.TODO" entry (file+headline
(concat pmm "/org/files/agenda/bgu.org") "TDEN") "* TODO %^G %? :@work:
\n%^T"
))
which seems to work by adding a tag (via the %^G) alongside the current
already defined tag in the capture template.
is there anyway to add a tag to the current tag in the capture template
(:@work: above).
Thx!
Z

Yes, that happens because org-capture-fill-template inserts the tag text manually, like this: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (let* ((org-last-tags-completion-table (org-global-tags-completion-table (cond ((equal key "G") (org-agenda-files)) (file (list file)) (t nil)))) (org-add-colon-after-tag-completion t) (ins (mapconcat #'identity (org-split-string (completing-read (if prompt (concat prompt ": ") "Tags: ") 'org-tags-completion-function nil nil nil 'org-tags-history) "[^[:alnum:]_@#%]+") ":"))) (when (org-string-nw-p ins) (unless (eq (char-before) ?:) (insert ":")) (insert ins) (unless (eq (char-after) ?:) (insert ":")) (and (org-at-heading-p) (let ((org-ignore-region t)) (org-set-tags nil 'align))))) #+END_SRC It would be simple to have it use org-set-tags-to instead of inserting them manually. I guess that would be correct in the vast majority of cases, however IIUC it would be a change in functionality, as the %^G could be put anywhere in the template and insert tags there (which seems like a strange thing to do, but you never know). On the other hand, it seems like what you're asking for would be the more expected functionality, in which case this would be a bug fix. So maybe the maintainers would accept a patch for that, or maybe not... :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

As you point out, using `org-set-tags-to' means "%^G" is no longer a placeholder, since the change is likely to happen is some other location. From a UI POV, turning "^%G" into a property, e.g., :ask-for-tags, could make more sense. WDYT? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
