I have the following simple test logbook:

; General
List display = Edit, Hostname, OS, Size
Entries per page = 150
Quick filter = OS
Date Format = %d/%m/%Y
Summary Lines = 0

; Attributes
Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size
Required Attributes = Hostname
Sort Attributes = Hostname

; Message part: log is text only, but elog is allowed
Default encoding = 0
Allowed encoding = 2

For some strange reasons, I'm having problems with the "Size" attribute, which I have added later. If I start adding/editing entries, at some point, the "Size" attribute will stay at "0" and will not accept any further changes. I've tried to pare down the config to maybe find which statement could be causing this, but to no avail. The only thing I can say is taht id doesn not seem to happen if the configuration consist of the sole line

Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size

I'm quite puzzled as to what is going on here (the original problems stems from a more complicated logbook) - I'm not even 100% sure whether this happens due to a bug or not.

That's indeed a strange bug, and thanks to your detailed explanation I could easily reproduce it. The problem was that in the ELCode toolbar there is already a "SIZE" parameter, which gets submitted instead of your "size" attribute. Therefore whatever you submit as "size", gets replaced by zero (since the SIZE drop-down box usually sits at zero). So you can either go and change your "size" attribute into someting else like "Memory Size", or you upgrade to version 2244, where I fixed this problem.
