Yup.
I recommend changing your capture template to
(file+olp "~/grupos2024.org" "Grupos")

Do you mean that you want IDs to be always added any time your create a
heading? If so, the common method is to add `org-insert-heading-hook'.

However, this hook will not work for templates. You may add
:ID: %(org-id-new)
to your template to generate an ID.
