Cumulus will then look through all standard log files and create approximate records for any ''missing dates'' in the dayfile if those dates have observations stored in the relevant standard log. (It creates a file in the Cumulus folder called ''dayfileeditlog.txt'' which contains the entries it created). Click the ''Help'' button for more information. In past and current versions (including 1.9.3), ''create missing'' will not affect any records that are incomplete or contain some rogue values (see [[Standard_log_files#Using_Standard_logs_to_deal_with_shorter_.28or_incomplete.29_dayfile.txt_records_for_particular_dates | workaround]] below). | ||
