I am writing some code to change the state of an org headline. I have
figured out that an error will pop up if I am automatically transitioning
to a state that requires a note logged. How can I automatically add a state
transition note?
I know I can write this:
(universal-argument)
(universal-argument)
(universal-argument)
(org-todo "WAIT")
and this will automatically skip note logging.
I've looked at the code around adding a log-note and it looks like it might
be automatable but there's a lot of pieces I don't know in there, so if
there's a way to add just a state transition with a programmatically
provided note, I'll take that, please :)
Thanks,

It may be fragile, but you can try let-binding
(org-inhibit-logging 'note)
around elisp org-todo call

If I understand correctly, this will prevent the addition of a note; I have
already found a way to do this. Please let me know if I am mistaken.
What I am looking for is a way to programmatically, without user input,
change the state and add an automatic note.
If I understand correctly, org-mode implements the addition of the note
through the function `org-add-log-note` and `org-store-log-note`, and I was
really hoping I wouldn't have to sift through these two functions to figure
out and possibly reimplement all the logic of how it finds the place where
to add the note so I can insert the string there myself.
Sincerely,
-Aldric

No. Setting this variable programatically is an equivalent of "0"
prefix arg. Just try it yourself (replacing CANCELLED with whatever
todo keyword that normally triggers interactive note for you):
(let ((org-inhibit-logging 'note)) (org-todo "CANCELLED"))

Yes. Unfortunately, this note system is not very configurable. Though
your specific case is (somewhat awkwardly) covered. In org-add-log-note,
there is the following line:
(if (memq org-log-note-how '(time state))
The org-log-note-how is set in org-add-log-setup according to its args.
org-todo calls org-add-log-setup depending on the value of
org-inhibit-logging.
Thus, my suggestion.
And yes, it is cumbersome. We should re-implement the note system some
day in future.
Best,
Ihor
