Thanks

what is the format of the Date field in the csv file ?

My Date is date and not datetime.

If you would have followed the shown link to the "elogd.cfg syntax page", you would have found the chapter Mirroring:
https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring

Not necessarily, but that is the default.

See above: you'll find examples under #mirroring

You're welcome.

Andreas,
Thanks for your comments. Thats why I posted in the first msg my configuration details... I just hope there can be a solution :)
I saw in the doc that an attribute cant be bigger than 100 char. but I couldn't figure the maximum size for options...  I'm wondering if the issue comes from the browser not refreshing correctly or if its elog..
Again, I tought that if that was from elog limitations, the attributes wouldn't load the options presets at all... but they do, (attribute volume) ... just not all the time :)

I understand that you are proactive on this forum and eventually I was thinking of contributing with detailed specific config examples but for now I just would like to get on track :) 
The last time I used Elog was 10 years ago :) it changed alot since :)

My personal opinion here is, that if you want others to investigate your problems, then the best way to do it is like that:
- attach a minimal configuration that reproduces your problem (never attach a 100 line configuration, unless you've tested that the problem disappears
regardless of which line you remove!);
- attach the entry data, if the behaviour depends on the data;
- use a specific, to the point subject line;
- explain what you did, what happened and what you would have expected to happen;
- ask kindly; and then
- wait and hope for the best ;-)

I came accross the admin guide and I was reading / searching for a way to sync logbooks across sites...
elogd mention "-m" and "-M" ... not elog but elogd... with that description :
synchronize logbook(s) with remote server

Does it sync all logbooks ? is there any examples somewhere or advice ?

Thanks :)

Got it...
But again, I found it strange that it works from time to time.... is it an elog limit or a javascript issue....

the guide mentions :
Options <attribute> = <list>
Usually, an text field is used for an attribute, where the user can fill in text of up to 100 characters.
but no words on options size...

I would say if it was a size issue it would not work at all no ?... but now it works from time to time....
But you are right, maybe I should get a bigger hammer :)

Seriously, I really hope It could make it... Could you try it on your side ? could I enable some sort of debug mode other than running elogd from a shell ?
