Hi Andreas,
Thanks for your input! After a little testing, it appears that if I make "Orig Date" the first field, it will fall under the Date field in the logbook file. I can then do a global delete of Date:, and replace Orig Date: with Date:, leaving it as the first field in the entry. Then I can delete the Orig Date field.

You could transform your entries into the ELOG file format (either XML or CSV) and then use the import function. That would upload the correct dates from your entries.
If you use the "Orig Date" trick you've proposed, you'll see that datetime fields are stored as seconds of the epoch (since 1.1.1970). Not so easy to copy and paste them, but you can convert them with a script.
Cheers, Andreas

Hi Stefan, thanks! Does the Date field need to be the first field in each entry? I can see adding a "termpory" field called "Orig Date", upload the old entries, then edit the file(s), delete the Date field, and rename Orig Date to Date. Will that work?

You have to manually manipulate the logbook files YYMMDDa.log where you find the date at the top like:
MID@$: 1
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2020 15:38:09 +0300 <==== change here !!!!
