Hello
I validated in my parameters to use the field "Reference 2" to put the RDA there. (Settings / User preferences)
Log4OM automatically updates the RDA field by looking at the "Comment" field, if this "comment" field contains an RDA reference (like KK-18), well Log4OM automatically puts this value in the RDA and that's works fine
But :
we cannot modify this reference 2 field (nor the other reference 1 or Association 1 or 2 fields)
and here is what happens if we made a mistake:
I entered on a QSO with "KK-08" in the "Comment" field and I validated, Log4OM detects this RDA well and puts the "Reference 2" field with this KK-08 value for me so it works very well
but then I realize that I made a mistake, it is not KK-08 but KK-18, so I edit this QSO and I modify the "comment" field to remove KK-08 and put KK-18 in it
In this case Log4OM also keeps KK-08 and therefore in the "reference 2" field
we now have the 2 values (KK-08 AND KK-18), so it's not a big deal, just edit the QSO and go to modify in the part "Award Refs." to remove KK-08.
But a call for the same QSO cannot have 2 RDA references at the same time, it is not possible.
Log4OM should not allow this sort of thing
So in this specific case, Log4OM should not keep KK-08 but replace it with the last value entered ...

Re: RDA et Comment
The correct editing process in the case of a mistake or finger trouble is to delete the reference in the comments field first so that Log4OM does not keep using it for an award update.F6FLU wrote: ↑22 Apr 2021, 08:35

Then delete the incorrect award from the references box and add the correct reference followed by save and apply
