Re: Dual Time display and entry times

Depending on whether I understand your requirement correctly, the following solution should work:

define an additional logbook attribute, say "UTC Date"
preset it on entry creation and submission with the UTC timestamp (cf. section "Attributes" of the ELog configuration guide):
```
Preset UTC Date = $utcdate
Subst UTC Date = $utcdate
```
prevent the attribute from being changed manually by adding it to the
```
Locked Attributes = < ... >
```
and
```
Fixed Attributes Edit = < ... >
```
lists, respectively.
You may also have to add it to the
```
Remove on reply = < ... >
```
list if replies turn out to keep the "UTC Date" value of the original entry.

Regards,
