I am a longtime generally very happy user of Evernote pro who is frustrated that this has not been implemented yet. I finally found a workaround on my Samsung Android which covers the problem with the body not picking up most shortcuts. It's clunky, and it costs $1.99, but the app it uses is very helpful in other contexts. I use Clipper Plus by rojekti. You can create a 'dynamic snippet' in there. I create one or more dynamic snippets with the date and/or time format I want, place the clipper app on the edge for quick availability. (If your Android is not Samsung, you may need to take a few extra steps for that part.) Then, in the context of my note, I slide the clipper app to the pop-up view, select the snippet, and long click to paste it into my note. Still quicker, formatted exactly how I want it, and less error prone than typing the date or whatever in the format I want. Even better, it works in other contexts besides Evernote. I would keep using it for other contexts even if Evernote finds a good way to address this.
