 If you have a logbook and you create a new entry, is it possible to put a time limit on that new entry so that edits/replies are only valid for certain amount of time.  I am looking for a way that would allow me to have a user start a new message, but after 8 hours, that message becomes locked and no one can edit or add to the message.  This is for some shift work and we do not want users to go back after their shift and edit the messages.  

 

Did you consider using the "Restrict edit time" option? It should provide the necessary functionality, as long as you don't want to lock the entry at a fixed absolute time, but really only x hours after creation (also, as you talked about closing the "thread" automatically, there is no option to prevent replies after a certain amount of time).

See the administrator's guide.
