Thanks for trying it out, I suspect it is then my setting, I just looked up the org-mode-hook And I can't find any suspicious. I will try to eyeball my org-add-ons files. What command/variable could org-mode force to have always an UUID in the ID property? I also will try to debug org-capture and org-capture-finalize I tried it once and cannot see when the UUID is automatically inserted. hm -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine.
