When I capture a new item to org-mode where the template includes %i (capture active region), other placeholders in the region are replaced (evaluated).
For example, capturing with the template --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "todo.org" "Tasks") "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a\n") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- while the following region is active: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; ("w" "URL" entry (file+headline "notes.org" "URLs") ;; "* %^{Title}\n\n Source: %u, %c\n\n %i") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- it will asks for 'Title' because the captured region contains the placeholder %^{Title}. This feels wrong, and is most likely a bug. -- Moritz Ulrich
