Here's one I use and it works fine. You should set up for undoing after an
insert, and this script does that too:
"""Insert a node with id and creation timestamp strings"""
c.doCommandByName('insert-node')
undoType = 'xx-insert-node'
p.moveToNext()
w = c.frame.body.wrapper
oldSel = w.getSelectionRange()
w.deleteTextSelection()
w.setInsertPoint(0)
id_label = f':id: {p.gnx}\n'
time_string = ':created: ' + c.getTime(body=True) + '\n'
i = w.getInsertPoint()
w.insert(i, f'{id_label}{time_string}')
c.frame.body.onBodyChanged(undoType, oldSel=oldSel)
c.bodyWantsFocusNow()
