Not sure what you are asking but logging a Owner Maintenance log clears the NM flag if set.

I'm confused too. #1 already occurs. As for #2, if the maintenance hasn't been performed, why is an OM being logged? A note would make more sense if the owner simply wants to convey information.

That's how the system works now.

 

A lot of cache owners post an "enabled" log, not realizing that it doesn't clear the NM attribute.

 

Or a lot of them simply don't know that they can post an "owner maintenance" log to remove the NM attribute.

#1 already happens.

 

Another way to remove the NM flag is to manually edit the attributes.

I like to say number two also happens. It happens a lot...

 

I could see it if it was a new user that uses "enable cache" instead of OM. But the CO has been geocaching for just over 8 years, I'm kinda surprised.

Ha!! All I can say is the last time I tried it, it did NOT clear the NM attribute. Maybe that cache had 2 logged NM logs or something, or I did it before the feature was implemented. I'll have to test it now,so I can remove my red face!~!

That's the way it has worked since I started in 2009, so unless you haven't logged an OM in the last 4+ years, something else must have been going on. I can't think of what that might be, though.

If you see a revamped cache that still has a "needs maintenance", just pop the owner a quick message. They usually appreciate it.

I've seen a few cases where a CO has logged Owner Maintenance with text that just says something like "Getting some new containers delivered, should be back in a week". It's as if they just wanted to shift the NM attribute before they'd done anything about the fact their cache had gone missing.

That's weird. It always works for me.
