Re: Bug: refile from capture template doesn't update org-clock-current-task [9.1.6 (9.1.6-57-gec8590-elpaplus @ /Users/ag.ibragimov/.emacs.d/elpa/26.0/develop/org-plus-contrib-20180219/)]

I sumbitted this long time ago and although it looks like it was fixed (it
updates the modeline), I just noticed that it still doesn't update
`org-clock-current-task` and I think it should, because otherwise there's
no way of accessing current-task value from outside of org-mode and
outside of Emacs.

Let's say I want to show current task in a third-party bar like yabar or
lemonbar.

Calling this

'emacsclient -e \"(if org-clock-current-task (string-trim
(substring-no-properties (org-clock-get-clock-string))) ' )\"

would not work for a task that was refiled by a capture template.

I'm sorry for nitpicking - I would have tried fixing it myself, I tried
diving into the code and I was quickly amazed how complex Org-mode's code
is. No wonder no one has ever succeeded in replicating it for other
editors.

Thank you guys for all amazing hard work that doesn't get appreciated
enough.
