Hi.
I want to have a capture template that generates a datetree under an
existing headline in an org file with existing headlines. I tried this:
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/workspace/org/notes.org" "Journal")
"* %?\n Added %U\n %i\n%a")
I tried creating the Journal headline before capturing. But org-mode
generates a 2016 headline not placed under Journal.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Peter

This seems to work, by making a new capture target called
'file+headline+datetree'.
Capture template:
("j" "Journal" entry (file+headline+datetree "~/workspace/org/notes.org" "Journal")
Patch:

+
((memq (car target) '(file+datetree file+datetree+prompt file+weektree file+weektree+prompt))
(require 'org-datetree)
(set-buffer (org-capture-target-buffer (nth 1 target)))
This results in:
* Journal
* 2016
unless the following property is set:
* Journal
:PROPERTIES:
:DATE_TREE:
:END:
** 2016
An improvement might be to prompt for the headline to put the datetree
under. It might have been possible to do this as a 'function' target.
