Sorry Stefan, but it is possible as you have the scripting ability.
The idea is to use "Preset Test_Attribute = $shell(script_to_get_the_last_entry)", where the script asks elog about the details and
parses them. |

Hi Chris,
Additional the the HTTP request sugested by Stefan you could also use the search functionality of the elog python module.
For the HTTP request you may also need a way to provide credentials or transmit cookies, if the elog needs authentification. |

Hi Stefan, hi Sebastian,
thank you for your help. Ok I see its not that simple.
Is there maybe a way of executing a Script on submitting, writing the values of the Attributes into an temporary file and loading the values |

That would actually be my recommendation. There is a "execute new" which you can call when submitting a new entry.

Thank you very much.
So far I testet all functionalities and scripts to reach my goal. I will post a dummy of the solution later on for future purposes.

I am glad, we could help.
I can see a caveat in the recommendation.
By having "Execute New = echo $attrib > /path/last_attrib" and "Preset attrib = $shell(cat /path/last_attrib)" as the most |

Just noting that, depending on what you want to achieve, you may be able to use the threading functionality so that a "new" entry is actually
a "reply" to a previous entry. This will allow you to populate attributes with values from that previous entry without having to rely on
storing information outside the system, with all the attendant concurrency risks already identified. |
