I'm not sure (because I didn't understand what was going on) if this is the
same question that Sebastian Fischmeister asked earlier ("Custom escapes &
the evaluation order in fill-template"), but is it possible to construct a
capture template using something like the %{prompt} that replaces _all_
occurrences of the prompt string throughout the capture buffer, rather
than just at the insertion point of the escape expression?
I want to do something like this:
-----------8<--------------------------------
("p" "phone log" entry (file+datetree org-phone-log)
"* %^{Organization} - %^{First Name} %^{Last Name}
:PROPERTIES:
:FIRST_NAME: {First Name}
:LAST_NAME: {Last Name}
:ORG: {Organization}
:END:
usw.
-----------8<--------------------------------
where the value entered in response to {First Name} gets globally
substituted in two or more places in the template.
Can this be done?
tnx,
maab

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
