I cannot get this to work either but I do think you want to enclose the remote() within (identity) to copy values and not try to evaluate an expression, as noted in the info page: $1=(identity remote(2016-01-19-srctbl,@@#$1)) Also, I don't think you want an indirection using #. But I cannot get this to work so I could be completely off base... -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.5.1, Org release_8.3.3-449-gd85ff3
