Hi Carsten,

Maybe it does work as expected (although it should probably be
consistent, as you say). What I am looking for is some way to get the
date I was prompted for to use in the timestamp, so I get:

* 2011
** 2011-12 December
*** 2011-12-08 Thursday
**** Test
     <2011-12-08 Thursday>

the idea being that I am entering a scheduled event.

I can’t figure a template replacement string (%-something) to make
this work.

Thanks for your help!

best, Erik
