Hi,

Is it possible to include extra text in a logbook entry from a function
in a way that doesn't open a notes buffer?

I was trying to use org-add-log-setup:

(org-add-log-setup &optional PURPOSE STATE PREV-STATE HOW EXTRA)

but the EXTRA arg is ignored unless HOW is set to 'note as far as I can
tell, and when it set to that, it opens a note buffer to edit the note.
I would like to just directly add the EXTRA text to the logbook
programmatically, without opening the note buffer.

i.e. this would just add the entry to the logbook:

(org-add-log-setup 'done nil nil 'note "extra")


Thanks,
