Force "Carry OTHER data forward" ?

 

The OTHER fields in my installation are for things I like to carry forward from record to record, changing only occasionally. I use Fill Behavior "Previous Record" for those fields and that works very well when I enter QSO info directly in ACLog. When I use other software that logs via API, i.e. HunterLog, those fields don't get carried forward. That's perfectly understandable since that software has no awareness of those fields. and can't be expected to duplicate them.
?
Is there a setting or workaround, other than Bulk Edit that can perform that action.
?
Be aware that "No" is an acceptable answer. ACLog is fabulous regardless.
Thanks!

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your e-mail.? AC Log's behavior is entirely contingent on the connected program, but depending on how the connected program. is configured, it may be possible now, or you could ask the developers to modify their software.? Many of the behaviors you are used to seeing when logging manually and tabbing from the Call field also occur when the CALLTAB event is called in our API.? I understand some connected programs do (maybe optionally) overwrite the data after it is called, so even if they do call the CALLTAB event, it is important that they aren't clearing any fields you wish to keep.

Complete specifications on our API are here:


Thanks so much for your kind words on the software!

Enjoy!
