Hi,
for quite a while I have this patch in my local org-mode branch. Now I
find the time to share it.
Given a table with several sections and a capture template for entries
in this table. The sections are dynamic, so a static value for
table-line-pos does not help. With this patch table-line-pos can be:
- a string like "II-2"
- a varialbe containing a string
- or a function
The function has to return a string which qualifies for table-line-pos
This serves me well and I am using it for more than one year now.
If you find it usefull then feel free to use it. I marked it as
TINYCHANGE, but I have signed FSF papers.

This sounds useful. Could you also provide a patch for the
documentation?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks -- can you read this page?
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#sec-5
There are advice on how to format the Changelog entry.
See in particular this list:
- Variables and functions names are quoted like `this' (backquote and
single quote).
- Sentences should be separated by two spaces.
- Sentences should start with an uppercase letter.
- Avoid the passive form: i.e., use "change" instead of "changed".
I know it's boring, but even more boring to fix this when we merge
Org with Emacs :)
Thanks in advance,

I am sorry, I used =git format-patch= for the patches assuming all will
go well. Here are both patches with rewritten commit messages. Hopefully
I made them well.
