Doct modifies list argument

[BumbleBeeBleep]

Hello,

I am trying to put some common children under different parents as shown below. But this does not work. Both ct and it put the todo item under the currently clocked item. After running the code the value of my/basic-capture-types is changed to this:

(("Todo" :keys "t" :template "* TODO %?" :inherited-keys "it" :clock t :file "inbox.org") ("Entry" :keys "e" :template "* TODO %?
%a" :inherited-keys "ie" :clock t :file "inbox.org"))

Is this meant to happen? If yes, what would be an other way to accomplish this? Thank You!

;; These are the type of capture-templates
(setq my/basic-capture-types
      ;; Simple todo entry
      '(("Todo" :keys "t"
         :template "* TODO %?")
        ;; Link to current entry
        ("Entry" :keys "e"
         :template "* TODO %?\n%a")))

;; Here I will add the capture types to different locations
(setq org-capture-templates
      (doct
       `(("Clock" :keys "c" :clock t
          :children ,my/basic-capture-types)
         ("Inbox" :keys "i" :file "inbox.org"
          :children ,my/basic-capture-types))))

Thanks for reporting this. Doct does indeed modify its declarations argument. I had not anticipated your use-case! Any performance gained from mutating the argument is probably moot. Working on a patch now to fix this.

The commit below (ad94e62) should take care of that for you. Would you mind testing it for me?

This is working for me, Thanks!

Glad to hear it! I'll merge the fix into master. Thanks again for reporting.
