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.
