Using Elog 2.9.2

Elog crashes when making 10 replies, I narrowed the crash down to the Propagate Attributes setting.

I have an attribute "Status" that can be toggled between "Open" and "Closed" and that propagates all replies.  On the 10th reply the application crashed, this is repeatable 100% of the time.  Without the propagate option everything works fine.

Attached is my config file parsed down.

Is there a way around this, or is there a way on reply to change the attribute of the log note you replied to from open to closed without using the propagate option?

Hi Stephen,

I see that you don't allow branching in your threads.  Why do you need to propagate the Status throughtout the thread?  Why not just mark the latest entry and (incase it is necessary) 'collapse to last = 1'

I'm not saying that the bug (if bug it is, rather than a preset limitation) you've found should not be fixed, but I'm puzzled as to why you happen to use the feature.  I can see the point if an initial entry provides a whole tree of branches (and a limit of 10 is rather limiting).  OK, I know if it is historic, it cannot easily be changed because of other users.  Or if some users will primarily be responding to emails rather viewing the logbook via a browser.  I'm a single (ab)user elog system myself, so I'm very tolerant of changing how elog works if it offers an improvement.
