QSO Manager | Update QSO | field missing

[HB9BRJ]

Hi all,

Thanks for version 2.0. Imported 13k QSOs from 1.4 backup ADIF in about 8 minutes. In a very few rare instances, the content of former "My Sota Ref" field (the summit I activated) has not been put in the new "My References" field. An example: "My References" should contain SOTA@DM/BW-846 but is empty.

Wanted to add missing data in QSO Manager. On the "Search QSO" tab, I selected one single QSO. On the "Update QSO" tab, in the "field to update" drop-down list, the "My References" field is missing.

Then I tried to edit this particular QSO. On the "My Refs." page, the "Award" drop-down list is empty. Did I do anything wrong? How can "My References" be added to a logged QSO?

Thanks & 73

Hi Markus, can you check log for issues? it's working correctly and it should show references available for your country (qso from where you made the QSO)
Check if My QTH tab contains a valid station country

Hi Daniele, problem solved:
Took a look at the database using a tool called "Database Browser". Found that this particular QSO had some important fields left empty: mycountry, mycqzone, myituzone. After having entered missing data using the Log4OM GUI (edit QSO), I was able to add the missing SOTA reference as well

Nevertheless I would like to have the old update functionality in QSO Manager back. It was very convenient to fix errors by typing right away into the list view.

Hi Markus,
i understand and i agree with you that way was simpler, but was also risky, as if you type the wrong character/text on an indexed fields, the whole database may be "logically unreadable" on parsing.

In V2 you can select all QSO that matches your needs and do a massive update of them in QSO manager.
Massive update is "controlled" as data are written by Log4OM itself into the relevant records.
