I find those customizations way too complex for people who would like
to make schedule their meeting. Org is in the context of org-capture
still pretty much high level. The above setting is to me about same
level complexity as learning how to write Emacs Lisp functions.

(defun my-ask-for-meeting ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((date (calendar-read-date))
	 (calendar-date-display-form '((format "%04.f-%02.f-%02.f"
					       (string-to-number year)
					       (string-to-number month)
					       (string-to-number day))))
	 (date (calendar-date-string date))
	 (topic (read-from-minibuffer "Meeting for topic: "))
	 (with (read-from-minibuffer "With: ")))
    (format "* MEETING %s %s
    Scheduled: %s
    With: %s
    Entered: %s

" date topic date with date)))

In the org-capture-template you can then under "Template"
enter "Function" and just name of the function:
my-ask-for-meeting

But I think properties must appear in upper case letters like
SCHEDULED: instead of Scheduled.
