Re: Retain original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog |

Is it possible to retain the original ELOG id when moving an entry to an archive weblog, or have a locked field which holds the original id which we could subsequently reference in the archive? |
First of all, a reference to the original ELOG entry would not help if it's moved into another logbook (archive). Keeping the id is not possible technically, since it severs as a kind of primary key, which must be unique etc. There is however the possibility to create a "secondary" ID, using the Preset xxx = ### functionality. The attribute xxx will have increasing numbers just like the primary ID. You even can combine this with the current year or month (see documentation). The problem now is how to reference such an entry. You cannot just type elog:123 as this only references the primary ID. You would have to do a "hidden" search such as

where ### is your secondary id. This will of course be slower because if you click on such a reference, your whole archive will be searched for. |
