Thanks, that is good option. 

Actually there is no good secure way. What I usually do is to give users admin rights on individual logbooks, then they can change the config of that logbook. Many times adding some attribute is as good as creating new logbooks. Like if you need two logbooks "home" and "work", you can create an attribute "type" and let the type be "home" or "work". With conditional attributes you can make the logbook behave differently for the two values of "type" and get most functionality of two separate logbooks.

This is possible with conditional attributes. An additional trick would be to not show the text body of an attribute is not selected. This way the user first has to select the attribute, then the text field with the specific preset will show up. The configuration would be something along these lines:

Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = One{1}, Two{2}, Three{3}
Show text = 0

{1} Preset text = text1
{2} Preset text = text2
{3} Preset text = text3
{1,2,3} Show text = 1

Of course you have to supply proper text files text1, text2, text3.

Dear all,

Is it possible to have a dynamic "preset text" option?

I would like to switch the template file depending on the attribute value. (Of course this attribute values will be a fixed list of options, not extandable). 

I see there one difficulty, that: if user already started editing the text body, he could lose this data. But I think that this could be left on user responsibility to take care about it.

Another option could be to always insert the template text on the very beginning of the text body.

Is this feature implemented, or maybe someone have done it by changing the server code?

Cheers

I don't think there is a good secure way so far, but would like to have your opinion. 

If I want user to create logbook for themselves, what's the best way to do it? I guess Execute $attribute = <command> may work, have it write to cfg file, but obviously it impose security problem. Is there a good and secure way to allow user to create logbook themselves?

How do I make selection page show only list of logbooks that logged on user has access to? 

Right now, say I have 4 logbooks, and I have access to 2 of them. I turned on Protect Selection page = 1. So when I go to home page, I need to logon first, then I am given selection page. I am given list of 4 logbooks, I can only click into 2, which is expected.  

Instead of given list of 4 logbooks, I would like to know if there is a way to make selection page only contains 2 logbooks which I have access to?

Just look in the documentation for "preset text = ...". 

I would like to set up the text are as a template. The documentation indicates this can be done however I am unable to find reference to how it is accomplished.
