Hi,
I'm having a problem with org-capture. When I M-x org-capture and then
choose a template I get:
condition-case: Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
This is with a recent checkout of org-mode, further details below.
Any thoughts?
Chris

Can you provide a minimal org file where is happens, and tell which
template you used?

Hello again,
at the risk of again raising an issue that is actually my fault :-(, I
am having a problem with org-capture. I have been using the same
templates for yonks but, all of a sudden, my templates don't work. For
instance,
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "todo" entry (file+datetree "~/s/notes/tasks.org")
"* TODO %^{Task} %^G\nSCHEDULED: %t\n%i%?")))
#+end_src
I do not get prompted for the task nor asked for tags.
I do see that there have been changes recently to org-capture and a few
emails flying by regarding recursive captures but I didn't think they
applied to my use cases... I could be wrong.
Any pointers to what I need to change to get things working again would
be most welcome!
thanks,
eric

I can confirm this bug. None of the prompt shortcuts work in capture
templates. For instance, the following capture template...
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("a" "Appointment" entry
(file "~/org/inbox.org") "* %^{Appt}\n %^t%?\n %U\n %i")))
...simply inserts the following in a buffer without any prompts or
expansion...
* %^{Appt}
%^t

The problematic commit is the one having to do with recursive todos:

Whew! I was really worried I'd done some silly again... :-)

Thanks Nicolas,
However, it only partially fixed. The system does now prompt as it
should but the mini-buffer input only allows single words. Hitting
space bar attempts to do completion. I believe the input should be free
form?

I think it is still broken in another way
my template for capturing time as I work on a files -
("s" "timeslip" table-line
(file "/mnt/Data/ActiveFiles/EmacsFiles/timeslips.org")
"\| %(org-read-date)\| %^{FileName} %i\| %^{Narrative}
%i\| %^{Time} %i\| %^{Expense} %i"
Last week the prompt org-read-date would pull up the calendar first; now
the template jumps first to FileName, then Narrative,then Time, then
Expense, then back to org-read-date. After C-c C-c there is anywhere 5
to 20 second delay.

Well, this one is to be expected. S-exp placeholders are evaluated only
once. This currently happens at the end of the process because some
users do
%(do-stuff "%i")
Here you want it to happen at the beginning of the process, which is not
quite compatible with the behaviour above.
I guess we could check if the S-exp contains any placeholder to decide
if it should be evaluated at the beginning or the end of the process,
but that somehow sounds cheesy.

I'm not sure this is related to the change. Could you use
elp-intrument-package and post the details?

Thanks (again :-).
Okay, this now works in that I can enter the text. However, there seems
to be a very strange side effect: I get the error message
Error running timer: `org-indent-initialize-agent': (error "Marker
points into wrong buffer" #<marker at 1 in tasks.org)
when I type anything in the mini-buffer in response to queries from the
capture template.
The actual capture works just fine; I just cannot see the text I am
typing, at least for the first prompt. The specific capture template is
("t" "todo" entry (file+datetree "~/s/notes/tasks.org") "* TODO %^{Task} %^G\nSCHEDULED: %t\n%i%?")
The can reproduce this with emacs -Q if I have
(setq org-startup-indented t)
The error only happens in the first capture. The problem appears to
have something to do with how the buffer is initialised.
I'm not sure how to go further on this. I do have a working environment
so obviously this is not critical.
Thanks again,
eric

OK; however, why should this change within the past few days (at least
in my case)? I have been using this template for over three and I
believe four years and the calendar prompt always started first, not last.

You are right, it's not.

Thanks Nicolas. One more issue. In the past, non-interactive escapes
were expanded when the capture buffer was displayed, which enabled me to
see what I had just clipped while entering the interactive data. Now
non-interactive escapes are expanded at the end of the capture process.
Take the following template:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("a" "Appointment" entry
(file "~/org/inbox.org")
"* %^{Appt}\n %^t%?\n %U\n %a\n\n %i")))
In the past, if I called this from the org-mode website with a region of
text selected, I would get a buffer that looked like this before
completing the interactive prompts:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*
%^t%?
[2015-12-03 Thu 11:02]

Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning
projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-text
system.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
After the recent changes, the initial capture buffer looks like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*
%^t%?
%U
%a
%i
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks,

At the risk of piling on, I too am having problems with Org Capture
templates that haven't changed in a long time. The sample below used to
function like:
1. I would call it from org-capture, select the “af” template
2. I would get prompted for a date from file+datetree+prompt and I would
select the date
3. I would get prompted for the week number from the
~%^{prompt|%<%Y-W%V>}~ clause. This would default to the current week in
ISO format (2015-W49). I would change it or not (usually not)
4. The ISO week entered from that prompt would get substituted into the
AR_DATE property in multiple places.
The two big differences with release_8.3.2-381-gb7ee96 are
1. The substitution for %Y and %V does not happen before the prompt in
step 3; I get a default value of [%<%Y-W%V>]
2. Even if I manually type the ISO week string (2015-W09) it no longer
gets substituted into the AR_DATE properties via %\1
I maintain some of my more complex capture templates in standalone files
and reference the file in org-capture-templates
(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
("a" "Templates for Agile Results")
