Hi.
Is there anything I can do with my Org config so that every time I
change the TODO state of my habit (example below), Org logs inactive
timestamp from SCHEDULED property before TODO state change?
For example, I have this habit, which I have been forgetting to mark as
DONE/MISSED/WHATEVER for the past several days:
* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-05 Thu +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:END:
Now, I want Org to log when I done the task and when I missed it, but
instead it inserts the timestamp of current time:
* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-08 Sun +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:LAST_REPEAT: [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
- State "MISSED" from "TODO" [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:
What I want to get instead is:
* TODO heading
SCHEDULED: <2023-10-08 Sun +1d>
:PROPERTIES:
:CREATED: [2023-10-01 Sun 01:25]
:LAST_REPEAT: [2023-10-10 Tue 02:08]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2023-10-08 Sun]
- State "MISSED" from "TODO" [2023-10-07 Sat]
- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2023-10-06 Fri]
:END:
It would be awesome, if there was a placeholder in org-log-note-headings
(for example "%e") that is replaced with previous SCHEDULED
timestamp. Can we do that? Or is there a better option to achieve that?

There is no easy way, especially since you probably want a different
note depending on the todo keyword (scheduled time for MISSED and today
for DONE, for example).
The %t placeholder from `org-log-note-headings' is not exactly the
current time, but rather the return value of
`org-current-effective-time'.
`org-current-effective-time', is somewhat customizeable.
We allow to use the last clock out time as the timestamp via
`org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time'.
To get what you need, it will be necessary to add more customization.
For example, we can allow a user function that returns the time that
should be used. Feel free to submit a patch to that effect.
