Michael,
Have a look at org-log-note-headings customization variable,
together with org-log-done and friends.
All these are quite static text you can configure, so probably then
do not accomplish what you ask for.
Maybe a good-enough solution is to store your template as a register
and then insert it in the note-taking buffer.
Throw something like this in your .emacs:
(set-register ?n "This is\nmy template\n")
so that C-x r i n will insert that text.
///----------------------------------------///
If you're feeling strange and are willing to change the code here:
in file org.el, line ~10880 (current git pull):
;; It is now done, and it was not done before
(org-add-planning-info 'closed (org-current-time))
(if (and (not dolog) (eq 'note org-log-done))
(org-add-log-setup 'done state this
'findpos 'note)))
after the 'note, add your template as a string (or a lisp function
that provides a string (template) depending on the context/setup):
... 'findpos 'note "this is\\nmy template")))
The string is an optional parameter for org-add-log-setup which will
be copied into the Org-Note buffer.
Good luck!
.j.
