Looks like a similar issue was addressed earlier here:

Earlier in = org-capture-fill-template, there is the following:

The property :default-time defaults to the curre= nt time and is overwritten by file+datetree+prompt,=C2=A0

If ct was passed as a 2nd argument to fo= rmat-time-string in your code snippet:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2= =A0 ;; The current time
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (goto-char (point-min))

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (replace-match (format-time-string (match-= string 1) ct) t t))

this should provide the behavior I'm looking f= or with file+datetree+prompt, but still use the current time for other capt= ure types. Will this solution break anything?

It's a feature I guess - org-capture.el says:

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 ;; The current time
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (goto-char (point-min))
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (while (re-search-forward "%<\\([^>\n]+\\)&= gt;" nil t)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 (replace-match (format-time-string (match-strin= g 1)) t t))

and there is no provision for another time to be given here. I don't think there is any provision in the template for a time other than the
current time: at least I can't see a %-escape that takes a different time.
