For new projects where I collect lots of tasks over time I've tried
creating a remember template to file to the project directly - to
save one refile step.
For the following example
,----
| * Some Heading
| ** TODO New Project
| *** TODO Step 1
| *** ...
| *** TODO Step n
`----
I create a remember template that files directly to
'TODO New Project'.
This works great but... if the status of the project task changes (say
to WAITING) then any new tasks I file with remember create another
(new) task '* TODO New Project' and it files under that instead of the
'** WAITING New Project' task. All of a sudden I'm collecting tasks
in the wrong place and I have to refile them all to the correct
target.
This feels wrong to me. I don't think it makes sense to include the
TODO keyword in the remember template target since the target changes
based on TODO keyword status.

Confirmed. I actually reported this a while ago.
In my case it was a blank that stopped working as a target when it got
a todo kw.
In addition to making remember templates ignore todo kw, IMO it would
be useful to allow an org ID as a target. This would allow accurate
target selection.

maybe for max flexibility one could define a variable for a regex for
text to be "excluded" when searching the target line when saving the
template. The regex could include keywords and whatever else is
considered non essential.

Indeed, you did report this before, and the item was on my list.
It is fixed now. The headline given as a target must be an exact match
for the text part of the heading. In addition, it may have a TODO
keyword, a priority, and tags. Rainer, is that general enough, or did
you have something else in mind?
