Hi Sebastian,

thanks for the reply. It is just a bit confusing that these similar settings behave so differently. For me it is no big deal to set the time for every logbook independently instead of [global], but it leaves more room for configuration errors.

Best,
Chris

Hi Chris,

my old entry was related to the admin options of edit time.
The option "Admin restrict edit time" was implemented later, see ab8b98c

As a workaround you should be able to give "Restrict edit time" a ridiculous high number in the specific logbook, which should overwrite the global.
In the documentation is no rule specified for diabling global settings for specific logbooks, as far as i know.

Best wishes,
Sebastian

Actually this is related to post 68993 from Sebastian Schenk in Jul 2019. Are there any new workarounds I may have missed?

Hi,

I have set the options "Restrict edit time = 24" and "Admin restrict edit time = 0" in [global]. This way can only edit entries for 24 hours while the admin can forever. I now want a single logbook where all users have unlimited time to edit entries. However, setting "Restrict edit time = 0" in this specific logbook behaves differently to the admin setting as it simply sets the time to 0. Is this behavior intended or a bug? I guess a workaround is to specify the edit limitation not in global but in all logbooks seperately.
