Hello,
I'm not sure that you can automatically include the note into a
:LOGBOOK: drawer, however if you're mostly/only working from capture
templates you could add a property for CREATED and have it
automatically fill with an inactive timestamp.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
("x"
"Example capture"
entry
(file+headline "~/org/todo.org" "Example")
"* [headline info]\n:PROPERTIES:\n:CREATED: %U\n:END: [body]"
:empty-lines 1)
#+end_src
It isn't quite the same as having it in the logbook, but it does
provide the information when you look for it.
Regards,
Jonathan

It does not add any metadata (such as a prefix " - Added on "), but the documentation for org-insert-time-stamp makes it obvious how to do that. What eludes me is how to make it obey the org-clock-into-drawer setting. I'm assuming it doesn't.
