Subject: Capture template expansion: feature or bug?
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 17:28:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1y3ixgswi.fsf@allisson.co> (raw)
Hello everyone,
When one uses the following template expansion,
> %^{prop}p Prompt the user for a value for property ‘prop’.
it supposes one to supply a non-empty string of characters. If one
simply hits RETURN on a given prompt for property, the capture process
ends with an
> org-capture: Capture abort: (quit)
message. This means that all prompts for properties are mandatory. It
this a feature or a bug?
Of course, if I ask the question, it is because I clearly see use cases
for optional properties prompts (which would leave empty the property in
question): you ask for several information, which you don't always have;
and you don't want the capture process to quit because of that. But may
be there is a better way to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance for your time!
Best,
François
