Data entry buggy when Date/Time is locked

Post by DM1TBE »

When I return from portable operations, I lock the date/time to enter my past QSOs. This causes two issues:

i) After locking the date/time and changing it manually, the grid field is no longer populated.
ii) When changing the date/time, a new "data lookup" is triggered, and if I have manually entered the grid, it gets overwritten

Version 2.28.0.0

I have made a short video:

I wanted to check in regarding the bug report I posted a few days ago. Just wanted to know if you guys received it and if everything's ok.
If there's anything else you need from me, just give me a shout.

A function of the software, in this case the grid lookup, stops working unexpectedly when something completely unrelated is changed, such as the date/time lock. It is more than obvious that this is a software bug. Since January of this year, I have made 768 portable QSOs. For all of them, I have to lock the date/time when I copy my paper log into the Log$OM. While YOU might not have an issue with manually copying the grid square from QRZ.com, I certainly do. This function is on number 4 of the feature list.

Why would one expect an update of call sign-related data when changing date/time manually, but only when the date/time is locked?

Tom,

Have you considered using the Lazy Log option in Log4OM to manually enter those Q's from your remote operations?

Go to: Utilities / Lazy Log

Dunno if that would help or not. Just a consideration.
