Hi Michael,
Yes this is possible but you have to reference the prompt fields by
position.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("p" "phone log" entry (file+datetree org-phone-log)
"* %^{Organization} - %^{First Name} %^{Last Name}
:PROPERTIES:
:FIRST_NAME: %\\2
:LAST_NAME: %\\3
:ORG: %\\1
:END:
")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Should do what you want I think.
Regards,
Bernt
