I think it is still broken in another way

my template for capturing time as I work on a files -

             ("s" "timeslip" table-line
              (file "/mnt/Data/ActiveFiles/EmacsFiles/timeslips.org")
              "\| %(org-read-date)\| %^{FileName} %i\| %^{Narrative}
%i\| %^{Time} %i\| %^{Expense} %i"

Last week the prompt org-read-date would pull up the calendar first;
now the template jumps first to FileName, then Narrative,then Time,
then Expense, then back to org-read-date.
Well, this one is to be expected. S-exp placeholders are evaluated only
once. This currently happens at the end of the process because some
users do

   %(do-stuff "%i")

Here you want it to happen at the beginning of the process, which is not
quite compatible with the behaviour above.

I guess we could check if the S-exp contains any placeholder to decide
if it should be evaluated at the beginning or the end of the process,
but that somehow sounds cheesy.
OK; however, why should this change within the past few days (at least in my case)? I have been using this template for over three and I believe four years and the calendar prompt always started first, not last.
After C-c C-c there is anywhere 5 to 20 second delay.
I'm not sure this is related to the change. Could you use
elp-intrument-package and post the details?


You are right, it's not.
