Label print - missing QSL manager

Post by IK4OMU »

Hi,
I'm using the 2.20.0.0 version of the software.
When I select one (or more) logged QSO, for printing label, which has the "Qsl via" field filled

I'm expecting to find the data in the field "QSL Via" in the following step instead of find it empty

Am I doing something wrong?

I filled the "Qsl via" data before saving the QSO into the log, adding that information to those of QRZ.com lookup.

Thanks for spotting

QSL via is a field that is filled by QRZ and/or user, and it's updated by default from Log4OM.
actually there's no way to identify an user written information vs externally retrieved info, so by default the field is cleared and refreshed with new data.
I must think how i can identify user data from automatically filled data

Interesting post. I also discovered this "issue". I often add the manager manually and wondered in the same field why it was empty. I think any manual entry should override any external sources. Often the guy on the other ends says "QSL via XX" or something like that, where online resources are often outdated.
