Can you please make a change to have the Quick Filter ComboBox controls reference the field type for ordering purposes?

For example, if attribute Lot Number is Type Numeric then the ComboBox should be listed in numerical order instead of alphanumeric (eg: 1,2,3,11,21
vs 1,11,2,21,3).
icon5.gif   Is there a python3 api to generate logbook entries from python?, posted by markus on Tue Jan 16 09:30:55 2018 
Dear elog community,

I wonder whether there is a python3 api or lib to generate and append entries (and attachments) to the logbook using scripts.
However, so far I did not find anything...

There are two options


Wrap the "elog" command line tool 
Use "curl". Ther is a PycURL library http://pycurl.io/docs/latest/ which
can be used, so you don't have to call any command line tool. The usage of curl is described in elog:68597

Have a look here: https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog

I haven't tried it myself, but it should allow you to add, reply, edit, delete elog entries from python (>= 3.5) via the http elog interface.
It's an anaconda package.

Thanks Andreas!
This is more or less exactly what I was looking for...

icon5.gif   Create past Elog entry., posted by Michael Hibbard on Mon Apr 2 23:31:51 2018 
Hello, Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I could not find info.

I am wanting to submit a new elog entry (that should have been) for a past date, to predate log entrys currently in my system.

I assume I must manually create a new .log file. What ID# should I assign to this entry? Should I sub-increment (i.e 33.1)? I presume the

Hi Michael,

Elog purists, look away now.

There is an "official" way to do this, which is to have fields for entry date (so can be in the past), but the yymmdda.log file will

David answered the question already.

I would distinguish if this is a once-in-a-year event, where you are willing to edit the logfiles as an administrator to fix it -

or
if it happens more weekly, and you want to enable the users to fix it themself.

 

If it happens once a year and you don't
