We have configured several logbooks to allow users to duplicate an entry in another logbook, which is very useful for entries which apply to more than one category.

However, once the entry is duplicated, subsequent revisions to the original entry are not copied to the duplicate entries.

I can see where implementing that would add a lot of code to ELOG.  Rather than do that, would it be possible to add a configuration option to duplicate only the attributes, and place a link to the original entry in the body of the duplicated entry instead of the full text?

Thanks,

Thanks, I was not aware of that - usually I have copied and pasted the entire path from my browser.

In any case, can you consider my request for possible future implementation? I think it's a useful function. For now, it's really no big deal to simply copy the url before selecting the Copy To: menu and then replacing the body text with the copied link. But I think it would be more useful to make this happen automatically, so I don't have to ask users to comply voluntarily.

Thank you.

 It would be nice to have the option of including an attachment indicator column in summary view to show if an entry has any attachments.

Thanks.

Thanks!

Thank you for pointing out the method to identify Last Edit as a datetime type so that it will sort properly. I now have created Last Edit in several 
preexisting logbooks. 

I want to use 
Start page = ?rsort=Last Edit
to set the default sorting of each logbook to be by Last Edit. 

However, all of the entries made before I added Last Edit have no value for that field, so they are all grouped together at the end of the sort. So I 
decided to go through the older entries and set Last Edit equal to the original entry date, as a starting value.

I tried to use the command
Subst on edit Last Edit = $entry time
but it gives a "-" for the Last Edit value when I edit an entry. 

I think this is because $entry time is not a variable supported by Subst. Can you add that support, or else tell me if you know a better way to go about 
doing what I'm attempting? Is there perhaps a way to globally process a group of entries in a logbook and set one attribute's value to be equal to 
another's?

Thanks

 You've probably seen my other posts on this subject.

I want to be able to re-edit some entries but I need some way to know the dates entries were re-edited.

Am I just approaching this the wrong way? Should I disable re-editing of entries and use threads to follow changes by posting replies to an entry?

The only problem with that is that if I make a mistake I will have to submit a new entry to fix it. 

Thank you for your advice.
