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.

Yes, I'm not sure about that either... I wonder if looking at the code
for what makes todo state changes and properties log into :LOGBOOK:
might help? I don't know any elisp to make sense of that. Perhaps
Bernt will see this and illuminate us both?
