Re: Capture template stopped working: nil

[Florian Lindner <mailinglists@xgm.de>]

Hey Nicolas, hey Bastien,

might you give a hint why

 ("j" "Journal" item
  (file+datetree "journal.org")
  "%?\n%i" :kill-buffer t)

which still gives the same error: org-capture: Capture template ‘j’: nil

Thanks a lot,
Florian
