I am prepending a checkboxed plain list item to a file named "pomodoro.org" (I'm not really doing pomodoro here anymore, it started as this but the unique filename stuck, and it is my ad-hoc datetree). It is organized much like a datetree, but flatter and newest first, thus the use of prepend. However, the capture buffer includes two extra newlines, which I must get rid of before or after completing the capture.
Is this desired behavior for capture-templates TYPE checkitem?
I am still on ELPA version of org, 8.2.10.
Here is my
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq pomodoro "~/pomodoro.org")
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("p" "pomodoro, checklist" checkitem (file ,pomodoro)
""
:prepend t
:empty-lines 0
:empty-lines-before 0
:empty-lines-after 0
;; :unnarrowed t
)))
#+END_SRC
The result of consecutive captures looks like:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
- [ ] a second capture
- [ ] a first capture
#+END
The spacing is doubled if I use `:unnarrowed t'.
I have also tried `(file+regexp ,pomodoro "- \\[")', but I still get the extra line.
A solution would be to use file+headline, then not using :prepend prevents an extra line, but my headline is the date and varies.
Thank you,

I solved my problem this way by modifying the function insert-date-N-days-from-current to print instead of insert. Now I can use file+headline and avoid :prepend.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun print-date-N-days-from-current (&optional days)
"Print date that is DAYS from current."
(interactive "p*")
(print
(calendar-date-string
(calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
(+ (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (calendar-current-date))
days)))))
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("p" "pomodoro, checklist"
checkitem (file+headline ,pomodoro ,(print-date-N-days-from-current 0))
"")))
#+END_SRC
