Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.
So thanks to report your personal experience with EL8/9 builds... 🤓

This is a nice idea, but currently no text substations in templates are implemented. It only works in attributes right now.

Hi John,

thanks for the info =). Do you known whether there is an example of how to use the list-boxes attributes?

Best,

Nick

I think what you want already exists, for example, when I reply to this message, there is this "Category" selection box with predefined answers 
"Info", "Bug report", etc. For your case, replace "Category" with "Wafer type ID", replace "Info" with "1", "Bug report" with "2", etc. You numeric 
values will be strings containing numbers "1", "2", etc. That works for you? K.O.

but can it be done by javascript injection? load a custom .js or .html file, in this file run javascript code to root down the DOM tree until you 
find the right place, replace .innerHTML with current date?

K.O.

Hey, 

thanks for your answer. I completely get your point. However, I think my question as not precise enough.

I would like to have a numeric input, but many at the same time. When I make a new post, I would like to have an attribute 'wafer_IDs' that specifies the list of wafers this process has been performed with. So for a single post I would like to have a list like this:

wafer_IDs = numeric value, numeric value, numeric value, extendable

Note: I am not referring here to the option. The numeric values are freely chooses numbers, the only this that varies from post to post is the number of numeric values put.

Let me make an example (If the attribute were a string this would be the equivalent):

1st post: A process that was run with 3 wafers (ID: 1000, ID: 1001 and ID: 1002):
wafer IDs = 1000, 1001, 1002

2nd post: A process that is run with 2 wafers (ID: 1000 and ID: 1002):
wafer IDs = 1000, 1002

The string solves the issue, but is not as nice as having directly a list of integers.

Thanks for your help!

Best,

Nick

This was given to me by Andreas L, 

In my elog.cfg file, I have the following:

Preset text = $shell(date '+[%d %b %y]')\n

and this puts at the top of every new thread I make today the following line

[09 Apr 24]

And for the same result for every reply as well, I have in elog.cfg

Prepend on reply = $shell(date '+[%d %b %y]')\n\n----------\n

with the ten dash characters to show the end of the thread, so the reply entry goes above the dashes.

Obviously time, name of day etc can be included by using the strftime
