Can `org-capture` templates be made to result in a sub-heading of the current heading?
So
```
* This Week
** TODO A TODO Item
[2023-05-05 Fri 10:47]
A description <point's here>
```
and I whack my capture keychord and get
```
* This Week
** TODO A TODO Item
[2023-05-05 Fri 10:47]
A description
*** [2023-05-10 Wed 17:02]
[2023-05-10 Wed 17:02]
<point's here>
```
It's worth noting that with a capture template like
```
("twj" "TODO Work TODO Journal" entry
(file+headline "~/Documents/todo.org" "Inbox")
"* %U
%U
%?") ```
If I do the usual `M-0 M-x org-capture` with point in the original spot it behaves exactly as I want it to. My goal is to get it to behave that way just by invoking the capture template.
OK after poking around in `org-capture-set-target-location` I think I have this sorted. Please let me know if I'm doing something obviously silly. :)
```
(defun timvisher--org-capture-sub-heading-insertion-point
()
(insert "\n")
(forward-char)
(org-capture-put :exact-position (point) :insert-here t))
;; Embedded in the capture templates list
("twj" "TODO Work TODO Journal" entry
(function timvisher--org-capture-sub-heading-insertion-point)
"* %U
%U
%?")
```
The key was finding that it wasn't enough to merely move point to the proper location. I _also_ needed to call `org-capture-put`. The docs on this subject are a little misleading, IMHO.
‘(function function-finding-location)’
Most general way: write your own function which both visits
the file and moves point to the right location.
Empirically it seems like you have to visit the file, move point to the right location, _and_ call `org-capture-put`.
