Having a problem with org-roam-dailies-capture-today - emacs

Question

Having a problem with org-roam-dailies-... functions. My org-roam-capture-template is
(setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
'(
("d" "default" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n\n")
("l" "lab" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n"
:olp ("Lab notes"))
("j" "journal" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n"
:olp ("Journal"))
("w" "words" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n"
:olp ("Words"))
))
When I call org-roam-dailies-capture-today, using the 'l' (lab-notes) hotkey, it complains...
heading not found on level 1: Lab notes.
That makes perfect sense, in the context of vanilla org-capture, because the file hasn't been created yet, so it isn't going to have any headings in it. But the point of this function is to create the file. So it has to create these headings itself and then the sub-headings and then navigate to the proper location in the file.
If I create a file using the `default' template, then go in an add the other headings, then call org-roam-capture-dailies-today and use the 'l','j' or 'w' templates, it works fine.
Am I just missing something (which is entirely possible)
BTW. the 'default', 'lab','journal' entries in my capture template are copy-and-pastes out of the org-roam info file (org-roam is v1.2.3, as installed by emacs package manager from melpa (IIRC) ). The `words' template is based on those, and, as I said, works fine so long as a use the work-around discussed.
TIA

p.s. I don't have the reputation to use org-roam... tags, and I need at least one tag. So, I used `emacs'. A bit vague, but what else could I do?

Answer 1

I don't know if you still need this. The question is 7 months old and is about org-roam v.1. But in any case.
You need to provide the headers you will use when you create the file. This can be done through the :head parameter.
(setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
(let ((header (concat "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n\n"
"* Lab notes\n\n"
"* Journal\n\n"
"* Words\n\n")))
`(("d" "default" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head ,header)
("l" "lab" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head ,header
:olp ("Lab notes"))
("j" "journal" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head ,header
:olp ("Journal"))
("w" "words" entry
#'org-roam-capture--get-point
"* %?"
:file-name "daily/%<%Y-%m-%d>"
:head ,header
:olp ("Words")))))
