Thank you for pointing out the method to identify an attribute as a datetime type so that it will sort properly. I now have created my "Last Edit" attribute in several
preexisting logbooks.
I want to use
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit
to set the default sorting of each logbook to be by Last Edit.
However, all of the entries made before I added Last Edit have no value for that field, so they are all grouped together at the end of the sort. So I
decided to go through the older entries and set Last Edit equal to the original entry date, as a starting value.
I tried to use the command
Subst on edit Last Edit = $entry time
but it gives a "-" for the Last Edit value when I edit an entry.
I think this is because $entry time is not a variable supported by Subst. Can you add that support, or else tell me if you know a better way to go about
doing what I'm attempting? Is there perhaps a way to globally process a group of entries in a logbook and set one attribute's value to be equal to
another's? To reiterate, I want to initialize Last Edit = $entrytime for all entries that have not been re-edited.
Thanks |
OK, now I realize how stupid I sound here. To partially answer my own question: $entry time is a string and Last Edit is now a number since I have changed it to the datetime type so that it will sort properly.
So I can't make Last Edit = $entry time. Is there some way I can access the entry time in datetime format so that I can set Last Edit equal to that?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, I'm confused... |
