1. Is it possible to have Fields which only appears if another selection is done? e.g. I create a new entry. This new entry has a type field. If I chose the Type "ABC" another field appears where the departemnt could be choosen. If I select Type "DEF" the Department field does not appear.

2. I have a field Status. This is a predefined field with 3 entries (New, under progress, closed). If i change the status field time, date old and new status should be logged or written in the text field. I can log this with the answer field with a new ID. But is there any other way to log it in the text field or log it with no new ID?

Can i implement the wishes above? If yes how does it work?

Thanks for your help

1. is simple, just use conditional attributes like:

Attributes = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
Options Type = ABD{1}, DEF{2}
Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions
{1}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions, Department
{2}Show Attributes Edit = Author, Type, Status, Revisions

2. is more complicated. Have a look at FAQ # 11. Try something like:

Options Status = New, Under progress, Closed
Subst Revisions = $date status $status
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions<br>$date status $status

But when testing this, I realized that there is a bug in elog and the subsitution is done before the submission, not after. I fixed that in SVN revision 2263, so it will be contained in the next Windows release.

Hello,

i tried

Options Status = New, Under progress, Closed
Subst Revisions = $date status $status
Subst on Edit Revisions = $Revisions<br>$date status $status

but it won't work. When I change the status i saw an information in the status bar of Internet Explorer like "Entry has changed" (Eintrag wurde verändert) but it is not written in the notes field. Or is it written to another field?

Do I have to update first to the latest Windows Version? You wrote something about SVN revision 2263. When do you expect the windows version where this problem is fixed is available to download?

Hello,

it now works with the revisions. When do you expect that the new Windos version, which corrects the error you described, is available for download?

You can download version 2.7.8 already since a while from https://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/

I installed the latest windows Version but have massive Problems with it. I can create a new entry and the revisions filed is updated. If I want to change the status field from "new" to e.g. "under progress" the elogd service at the server crashes every time i want to save the changes so i switched back to 2.7.5-2130 and it works without any service crashes.

Can you try elog278-2. It should fix that problem.
