Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests; start by reading the capture implementation and comparing its behavior with the linked Orgmode Template-elements documentation. Done means a capture template with :immediate-finish files automatically without offering the normal editing step, with coverage for that behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement
Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Feature value
:immediate-finish
When set, do not offer to edit the information, just file it away immediately. This makes sense if the template only needs information that can be added automatically.
