missing Station Country and My State

[dl1clm]

Hi All,

I found a strange problem in the Edit QSO window.
In many QSO's the fields Station Country and My State are empty.
After re-selecting from the listboxes, the information is back in the fields and stored in the database.
However, when I create an adif export the fields are all filled in, even if they are empty in the Edit QSO window.

What strikes me is that after completing My State there is no Niedersachsen but NI. this change has arisen since version 2.5.

Is this a problem in the Edit QSO window or is there more to it?

County and State is only for US Stations and/or Canadian Provinces. Could be possible it has to do with this. Not at home to check something.

Hi Jürgen,

yes I know but in the screendump you can see that I am talking about STATION COUNTRY.
The field MY STATE is showing a list of German 'states'

So I don't see a reason not to use MY STATE.
My COUNTY would be Emsland. I don't talk about MY COUNTY.

Some additional information:

The missing data in the Edit QSO window, Field Station Country and Field My State, is available in the window QSO Manager and also available in the ADIF export I made.

please see screendump below for the Call A41KJ

Isn't there anyone else who has this problem?
Or is my explanation not clear?

For me it is clear that this is a BUG the missing data is displayed in QSO Manager and is NOT displayed in Edit QSO.
It's just very annoying that it concerns all QSO's that were entered before version 2.5.0.0 and the Bulk editor doesn't allow it to be edited.
After filling in the missing fields in Edit QSO and saving the record, the missing data will be visible in QSO Manager.

Did you miss this in the user guide pages 79 and 80?

Thanks Terry for making me aware!

I used the manual of 27/06/2020 where this is not in it.
I've now used the manual of 30/06/2020.

Looks good.
Confusing is that 8441 records have been updated and the log shows that 0 have been updated.

It indicates that the country DXCC numbers matched the call sign prefixes and did not need updating, this is different to adding the country etc but a check that has to be done so that the correct country is inserted.
