Unfortunately, that prefix argument is, as far as I can tell, bound over the entire process of marking the task as done. This means that when we get to org-store-log-note, we bump into the following line: (when (or current-prefix-arg org-note-abort) (setq lines nil)) Which means that org carefully composes the note with the datestamp... and then throws it away. Unfortunately, I don't really know what the test for current-prefix-arg is here for, so I don't feel comfortable just removing it. Can anyone offer enlightenment (this might be a good place for an explanatory comment...)? Thanks, R
