Re: [O] Capture template creates multiple property drawers, help needed

[Philip Hudson]

Your target location defines how many stars you need at the top-level
of your capture template. Each successive level of sub-heading then
starts on its own line with one more leading star, just the same as
anywhere else in org-mode.

I use a certain capture template for a type of task with required
subtasks. That template could be massively simplified as:

  ** TODO Finalize %?%^{item}
     SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-next-working-day)>
  *** TODO Process %\1
     SCHEDULED: <%(my-next-working-day)>
  **** TODO Prepare %\1
       SCHEDULED: %t

WFM with target heading "* Captures" in file "Todo.org"
