As of this commit ( http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=5485170263a46fa17db67b0324c4c4e48bcdfe49 ), S-exps are no longer allowed in org-capture-templates.

Can this be added to ORG-NEWS?

I had stumbled across this when this commit was made back in June. Some people are now starting to see this as stable is upgraded to 9.0 ( https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/5b3mtr/orgmode_capture_template_issue_after_updating_to/ ).

As this seems to be a common feature that many seem to be using, it would also help to provide an example in ORG-NEWS on how to fix this.

Thanks.
