Ok, then don't set the "Type" to "date" Wink

I think I found it. Try this:

{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

In my config when I remove the two attributes from "LOCKED ATTRIBUTES" the fields do not get blanked out.


No, even with that it does not get blanked out. Attached is the complete elogd.cfg with which it works fine in my case (R1714). Can you try that?

Stefan, when I try that config in a demo logbook in my installation *but with all other items in [global] I get the same field-blanking behavior. I am going to try going back to a completely pristine .cfg, but I suspect this will work fine. I will need to add back in configuration items until I run into the culprit.

Ok, I found it. Try this config:
[global]
port = 8080


[demo]
Comment = Test
Attributes = Author, CRState, ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Locked Attributes = ApprovedDate, CompletedDate
Type CompletedDate = date
Type ApprovedDate = date

Format CompletedDate = 1
Options CRState = PENDING{a}, APPROVED{b}, HOLD{a}, REJECTED{a}, COMPLETED{c}
{a}
{b} Preset ApprovedDate = $date
{c} Preset CompletedDate = $date

Setting the "Type" to "date" causes the blanking to occur.

As a followon, when I do run SVN1714 as a detached process but started as ROOT I get the following console messages:

Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.
Cannot restore original GID/UID.

I do not get these when I run the app as me - which is a non-UID 0 account. Perhaps this is an artifact of the "-x" option?

Is there a way to allow email notification but have the "Suppress Email Notification" checked by default? We had complaints about the enormous amount of email so I turned off email notification for edits/replys, but there are times that I would like to allow email to be sent out -- this would imply allowing email by unchecking the "Suppress" box.


What I think would be needed is:
Suppress Email on edit = 0|1|2
                             ^
Where a '2' denotes that the "Suppress Email Notification" shows up but *checked*
