User defined fields: adding more than 4?

Unread post by ea5xq »

Is it possible to add more thatn 4 UDF? I do not use to use some fields like Satellite, Mode or RX BAnd as I main operate in HF, it could be great whether it could be feasible to add more User defined fields

I'm returning to RUMlogNG after trying some other products. More user fields would be a great help. Or adding more ADIF fields. Not sure if this is on the road map.

Very few users are using the custom fields. Adding fields is no option in the time being.
Which ADIF mappings do you miss?

Hi Tom.

It is interesting that the four fields aren't commonly used.

The four user fields I have been using are:
CONTEST_ID
MY_GRIDSQUARE
SOTA_REF
STATION_CALLSIGN

I'd also like to use (in the same log):
SIG
SIG_INFO
SKCC

ADIF 3.1.7 has added POTA fields. I would make use of:
POTA_REF
MY_POTA_REF

I only listed my top priorities.

I'm certain others might have different priorities.

Thank you and 73

POTA_REF and MY_POTA are already included. I asked for missing mapping tags.

Tom, I answered the question wrong.

It's less a matter of missing mapping tags but rather to having more user fields to include beyond the four.
You have included the tags I'd like to use.

However to use them all, I'd need nine user fields.

As most of your user based isn't using the four, I agree it wouldn't be worth adding more.
