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.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] capture: property `:table-line-pos' can be a function
name, a string or a variable
* org-capture.el: If the value of `:table-line-pos' is a function name,
its return valeue is used to determine the position inside the table.
Return value must be a string like "II-3". Else `:table-line-pos' is
'eval'ed.
