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.

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)

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.
