Is there something like `org-blank-after-new-entry` for org mode headings?

Question

There is org-blank-before-new-entry to insert a blank line before a new entry. But is there a similar variable for adding a blank line after a new entry? It would be useful when inserting an entry between entries.

This question was previously asked on the site, but it seems to have been deleted:

Answer 1

I solved this problem myself using this hack. It seems to work okay.

(defvar night/org-blank-after-new-heading-p t
  "If non-nil, insert a blank line after inserting a new heading in Org mode.")

(defun night/insert-blank-after-org-heading (&rest dummy)
  "Insert a newline after a new org heading if `night/org-blank-after-new-heading-p` is true."
  (when night/org-blank-after-new-heading-p
    (save-excursion
      (end-of-line)
      (insert "\n"))))
