I'm sure there's a simple answer to this but i can't seem to tease it out
of the on-line docs. I want to set up a capture template for entering
incoming work that automatically sets a deadline for the item when it's
entered. Ideally, I'd like it to set a deadline 4 business hours in the
future of the current time, but that's a tricky calculation and I'd settle
for current time plus a day.
I've tried the naive approach:
...
DEADLINE: %T+1
...
Doesn't work so well. What's the proper way?
Thanks,
maaab

Off the top of my head, I suspect you will need to write your own
function to produce the template you want.

Something like:
(format-time-string
(car org-time-stamp-formats)
(time-add (current-time) (seconds-to-time (* days 60 60 24))))
