I've seen exact;y this effect, even though I have branching = 0 in my config file - so ordinarily no chance to have two
replies to an entry. My pointer aka mouse (I'm on Linux) is a bit dodgy, and sometimes disconnects/reconnects, so in effect gives
a very fast double click. I've always assumed that was the cause of the problem. The two replies have incremental IDs, and both those IDs |

I find that I can reply to a message ("original" message, if you will) without doing anything to the reply message (the "copy" of
the original message, if you will). If I then submit it, it gets saved as a new message, identical to the one I replied to.
I read through the options at the end of the docs. I did not see anything about a way to suppress identical messages, or a way to force |

I'm not sure if this is what you want.
If you want to prevent "accidental" replies being identical to the original message, you can force a situation where the user will
be alerted that they have to do something if they really want to make a reply. |

I was only commenting on the predicament as I have run into it also. I have required fields, but short of some sort of "abort" control
(curiously missing from the otherwise vast offerings of elog), I don't see any way to ensure that identical replies don't occur in any circumstance
that may arise. |

Hi Harry,
I'm just an elog (ab)user, not one of the developers. My original 2017 reply was to report an issue that was due to hardware, but somehow
overcame a configuration flag (no multiple replies to a single entry), which might have been the same problem as the original poster, Alan Grant, was observing, |

I am no Windows expert. An option is to write your own application and use the "elog" command to post the output of the application to your
ELOG.
There is as well a python library to access ELOG via http: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog |

Depending on whether I understand your requirement correctly, the following solution should work:
[LIST]
[*] define an additional logbook attribute, say "UTC Date"
