Re: [BUG] org-attach-id-ts-folder-format fails on customized IDs [9.6 (9.6-??-2e9999783)]

[Janek F <xerusx@pm.me>]

I use org-roam which creates links between org-files using the ID, and I would like to be able to manually add such links to common pages even if autocompletion doesn't work smoothly.

Considering the other messages, let's not get lost in details, the default function does not need to consider all edge cases. It simply should not error out on ids in a different format.
