(Thhis was the response on my ticket...) This method will not overwrite non-zero values - this is deliberate so that manually entered/altered values are not overwritten if you re-import a summary file.
When I import the attached HH then then summary file the add-on info is imported but the re-buy is not (because there was already a re-buy imported from the HH file).
If I set the rebuy number and amount to zero and save then re-import the summary the info is imported. (I realise that doesn't help here, but just to test that the mechanism works.)

while I get that you are trying to keep manual values from being over-written, you don't know what is a manual value and what isn't. (Also, won't it over-ride the number of players/finish? I Know that when stars summaries for tourneys are imported it does that....)
For R/A kinda stuff this is fine for 99% of the sites since they don't give you any data and you can't get any from HH and don't happen to try and compute them
But for stars, the fact that you try and compute them (which we all know doesn't work right) guarantees that we need to manually fix them, and therefore turns the whole process into a cluster FF&^) .
It's hard enough to manually do it, figuring out what has been corrected or not already due to the always erroneous calculation. (It's NEVER right).
Now I find a simplish workaround for this and that can't be used either because you don't record what is a manual change and you also use a known faulty algorithm to guess wrongly at R/A
To me, this falls in the category of: it doesn't work right, so get rid of it until it does.
Especially because I sent you guys that account audit report in another thread/ticket, which could be used to easily automate this stuff, but I haven't heard any progress on it. And what I have basically done is wrote some macros and stuff to do this anyway sine the original file format is so simple. So it took me 2 hours and I'm a rank amateur...... but then I find out that my solution still won't work.
ARGGGG.
So, IMO plz get rid of the faulty R/A calcs for stars..... like I said we all know they are wrong, so why put in half assed data... and 2) put a tick box on manual import that lets you over-ride any previous data.. or if that is deemed too dangerous then you need to keep track of what was manually entered, item by item. Your current rules assume that anything already there cannot be over-written if I understand that correctly. (Yet I know that is false since the number of players is routinely over-written by the stars tournament summaries, as is the placement.)
Why am i so agitated on this? Well after doing my US taxes recently.. it's a NIGHTMARE without a single master set of records. TO the degree that I can keep all records for a site complete and accurate in PT3 it makes life 10,000% easier. (Well, that and the fact that the current situation with this issue is well...dumb. If you are going to protect me from myself, then protect me from myself. Current method doesn't do that at all.)
Going to repost this in the thread so that all appropriate people read it.
