Subject: Strange "bug?" report - disappearing data when attribute is "Locked" 

Steve Jones wrote:
I have come across an issue where an attribute value is "blanked" upon either editing or replying. The interesting thing is this is a logbook entry that was "Moved" from one logbook to another, all under the same Top Group. All configs are done under the [global <topgroup>] so the attribute is not being reset on purpose. Most interesting of all is this only happens:

  • if the attribute is "locked" (the logbook being moved "To" locks most attributes)
  • if the attribute is of type "date"
  • if the logbook entry had been "moved" from another logbook


If the logbook entry is subsequently moved back, all works as it should - even the locked date attributes.
temporary workaround is to "unlock" the date attributes - which really messes with things if people decide to change the dates.
