Still, it seems like org-mode should be able to auto-run in-line code just like the solution does. Alas, someday I hope to be able to just tackle a problem like this and submit the solution. Hope springs eternal (which Google-Gmail just auto-completed!)...

Let's say I have a standard org file I want to have created multiple t= imes. I've created a template file and told Emacs autoinsert where it i= s. Here's the relevant in my init

(use-package autoi= nsert
=C2=A0 :ensure t
=C2=A0 ...
=C2=A0 :config
=C2=A0 (define= -auto-insert "pool= chem.org?$" "poolchem.org"))

So in this template file = poolchem.org I have s= ix table skeletons, but I also want various customized additions. For examp= le, I would like the table names to reflect the current week starting with = the coming Sunday's date

#+tblname: pc1-src= _emacs-lisp[:results raw]{(org-read-date nil nil "++sun" nil (org= -time-string-to-time "2020-02-24"))}

=
which would hopefully show up in the newly created buffer as

#+tblname: pc1-2020-03-01

But = then nothing of the sort happens, i.e., the in-line code just comes back ve= rbatim when I create a new file, unevaluated. I guess I'm totally missi= ng what is going on with in-line code. It seems other methods of template c= reation allow code to be embedded, then to be evaluated. (The variable auto= -insert-alist has entire templates.) I've experimented with eval of org= -sbe in # local variables: ... but that was for running code blocks upon fi= le open, not individual embedded functions that would customize my newly cr= eated org file. Any ideas?
