Re: [O] Bug: refile from capture template doesn't update org-clock-current-task [9.1.6 (9.1.6-57-gec8590-elpaplus @ /Users/ag.ibragimov/.emacs.d/elpa/26.0/develop/org-plus-contrib-20180219/)]

I sumbitted this long time ago and although it looks like it was fixed (it updates the modeline), I just noticed that it still doesn't update `org-clock-current-task` and I think it should, because otherwise there's no way of accessing current-task value from outside of org-mode and  outside of Emacs.

 

Let's say I want to show current task in a third-party bar like yabar or lemonbar.

Calling this 

'emacsclient -e \"(if org-clock-current-task (string-trim (substring-no-properties (org-clock-get-clock-string))) ' )\" 

would not work for a task that was refiled by a capture template.

I'm sorry for nitpicking - I would have tried fixing it myself, I tried diving into the code and I was quickly amazed how complex Org-mode's code is. No wonder no one has ever succeeded in replicating it for other editors. 

Thank you guys for all amazing hard work that doesn't get appreciated enough.

Fixed. Thank you.
