=== Deleting or Editing a line ===
The images and text shown here do not represent the functionality available in MX version 3.4.5 when the ability to view and edit this log file was introduced to MX. That version and many subsequent versions work the same way as described below for deleting a line (although button naming has varied in different versions). But for editing a line, this original functionality included no validation of any input fields, so almost any rubbish could be typed in, and made no check for consistency, so you could edit one value without being reminded of its possible effect on other values.
At the time of writing, additional functionality is being prepared for the next version of MX.That is described below. It adds validation of all inputs, checking number of digits, and prevents the minus sign or decimal places being inserted in fields that do not accept them. It also helps you to achieve consistency between fields by highlighting the effect of edits you make. It then gives you the choice between manually making the extra edits or asking the web page to automatically make the adjustments for you.
Both the old functionality, and the newer functionality only work on a single log line at a time; there is no intention to provide bulk updating of lines.
