In my config when I remove the two attributes from "LOCKED ATTRIBUTES" the fields do not get blanked out.

No, even with that it does not get blanked out. Attached is the complete elogd.cfg with which it works fine in my case (R1714). Can you try that?

Stefan, when I try that config in a demo logbook in my installation *but with all other items in [global] I get the same field-blanking behavior. I am going to try going back to a completely pristine .cfg, but I suspect this will work fine. I will need to add back in configuration items until I run into the culprit.

Ok, I found it. Try this config:

[global]
port = 8080


[demo]
Comment = Test
Attributes = Author, CRState, ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Type CompletedDate = date
Type ApprovedDate = date

Format CompletedDate = 1
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

Setting the "Type" to "date" causes the blanking to occur.
