The "elog" command has no "append" feature. You can either create a new entry, or you can overwrite an old entry. Therefore this
is not a bug but the intended bahaviour.
I admit that the documentation is misleading, since overwriting an existing entry is called "editing": |

You are right. "Edit" should be more like "Replace". I changed that in the documentation.
I acknowledge the request to replace or append only a specific attribute or attachment, and put it on my to-do list.

Hey,
the edit/replace feature is already capable of just replacing individual attributes. I already make heavy use of this feature:

If the "Start Time" attribute is of the type "datetime", then you cannot assign a date string to it.
Instead you'll have to assign the seconds of the epoch.
Try assigning a "0", that should be the 1st of January 1970.

Thanks for the reply. You're correct that the "Start Time" attribute is a datetime field. I tried your suggestion and placed "0" for that field but it still
returns the same error: Error: Missing required attribute "Start Time"
I tested after commenting out the required attribute line and the command was accepted. However, the datetime field does not display a valid date/time |

Thanks for the response. You are indeed correct that the issue disappears when I comment out my required attributes line. If I just remove my "Start Time"
attribute, all the other attributes work as well.

I used to just comment out that one field in Required Attributes as well, but it was a pain to edit the CFG file, so I took the lazy approach and just |
