3 years ago You haven't given enough context for me to help you. Please show the value of org-capture-templates and all code which is being used to set them. Be specific about what you expected to happen and what is actually happening.

Expected Behaviour: After invoking org-capture from inside a project then select the Project parent with the key p-->
If I select t(Project todo) then It should capture the notes with the following template
:template ("* %{time-or-todo} %?"
"%i"
"%a")but it is not using the above templates. instead, it just inserting the heading. Screenshot is attached

3 years ago I think I understand the issue.
You've declared a :custom plist on the parent declaration which is overriding the property on the children because they are not declared as :custom.
Here's a minimal reproduction case which illustrates this:
YODEL REPORT (2021-09-23 12:13:17):
(yodel
:user-dir "doct-test.yodel"
:formatter yodel-format-as-github-markdown
:packages*
(doct
:ref "origin/master")
:post*
(yodel-file "./test.org"
:overwrite t
:save t
:with*
"")
(setq org-directory default-directory org-capture-templates
(doct
'(("Parent"
:keys "p"
:file "test.org"
:immediate-finish t
:template
("* %{property}")
:custom
(:property "PARENT")
:children
(("A"
:keys "a"
:custom
(:property "Explicit"))
("B"
:keys "b"
:property "Implicit")
("C"
:keys "c"))))))
(org-capture nil "pa")
(org-capture nil "pb")
(org-capture nil "pc")
(princ
(with-current-buffer
(find-file "test.org")
(buffer-substring-no-properties
(point-min)
(point-max)))))
Here the implicitly declared :property is ignored when filling template B.
I've pushed a patch to the "development" branch which should correct this. Tested with the following:
YODEL REPORT (2021-09-23 12:27:53):
(yodel
:user-dir "doct-test.yodel"
:formatter yodel-format-as-github-markdown
:packages*
(doct
:branch "development")
:post*
(yodel-file "./test.org"
:overwrite t
:save t
:with*
"")
(setq org-directory default-directory org-capture-templates
(doct
'(("Parent"
:keys "p"
:file "test.org"
:immediate-finish t
:template
("* %{property}")
:custom
(:property "PARENT")
:children
(("A"
:keys "a"
:custom
(:property "Explicit"))
("B"
:keys "b"
:property "Implicit")
("C"
:keys "c"))))))
(org-capture nil "pa")
(org-capture nil "pb")
(org-capture nil "pc")
(princ
(with-current-buffer
(find-file "test.org")
(buffer-substring-no-properties
(point-min)
(point-max)))))
Here, child B's implicit :property is filled in correctly in the template.
Would you mind testing the development branch to see if this fixes your issue?
As a side note, the :custom keyword isn't necessary in your declaration because time-or-todo is not a member of doct-recognized-keywords.
It will automatically be considered custom. I've fixed it so that it will work the way you're using it, but really it's only necessary when you want to use a keyword which is already a member of doct-recognized-keywords.
See the example using :keys here:

3 years ago Thank you @progfolio for quickly fixing the issue. Now the template-related issue is solved. but :function +org-capture-project-todo-file) is not able to find the right file. All the project-local-todo are going in the file opened in the current buffer.

3 years ago You're welcome. It's a little hard for me to diagnose what's wrong with that function considering you haven't provided the definition of that function.

3 years ago @progfolio I am using doom-emacs and org-capture template I have taken from @tecosaur config. I hope he will be able to provide the definition of that function.

3 years ago OK. I see you've opened an issue on his repo. I don't think this has anything more to do with doct, so I'm going to close this issue. If you find any more information that points to it being a bug in doct, just comment here and I will reopen this issue.
Part of my org-capture-template config is as follows:
This code is not using the specified templates. when I used "Project-local todo" it gives me this template:
when I used "Project-local changelog" it gives me this template:
when I used "Project-local note" it gives me this template:
