Hi List,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not - it seems to be, but it has been discussed on the list[1] (and elswhere[2]) and not fixed, and I wonder if that is because nobody explicitly called it out as a bug. At a minimum, I think it is a documentation bug.
A capture template with %^T or %^U will prompt for date and time, but if I hit ENTER without manually typing a time, the present time (shown in the prompt) is dropped, and only a date is used in the capture.
This is different behavior than, for example =org-time-stamp= or =org-time-stamp-inactive= run with a prefix argument (e.g. "C-u C-c C-.").
Without a time prompt (i.e. %^t or %^u), I can still manually enter a time and it works. So the only benefit of %^T or %^U is that the current time is displayed in the prompt, but I still have to manually type it out? This seems inefficient, hence I think this is a bug.
If the behavior is correct, the following doc strings should probably be updated:
%t Time stamp, date only. The time stamp is the current time,
except when called from agendas with ‘M-x org-agenda-capture’ or
with ‘org-capture-use-agenda-date’ set.
%T Time stamp as above, with date and time.
%u, %U Like the above, but inactive time stamps.
