Walt,
you've discovered, if you hadn't already, why, in the real world, ETL
(extract, transform & load) is such an arcane art. IIRC, when one digs a
bit, the ADIF used by WSJT-X is a cross between ADIF 2 and one or two
ADIF 3 additions.
If one can make import work, one is well advised to call it a win, and
stop. Would it be unkind, and tempting the fates 'n' furies, to suggest
thinking about a backup strategy for data that one cares about?
Quitting whilst he's ahead, and hoping that Pandora's box stays tight-shut,

PS: For *export* purposes, a fixed format ADIF file is syntactically,
and symantically, correct. The fixed format, presumably, makes
searching, which is the biggest use case, a lot simpler without the need
for a full-blown flexible data parser.

My computer crashed and I had to download my log files from LoTW in
ADIF format. I moved the QSO's into the file wsjt_log.adi as
described in the documentation.
Problem is WSJT is not displaying the previous worked stations
apparently because the format from LoTW places the worked station call
sign in the third data position of the record. If I move it the be
the first data element, it properly reads it and turns the display of
that call sign Green.
Shouldn't WSJT read the call sign in the record regardless of where
in the data element the call sign is placed, so long as it is in ADIF
format?
Here is what I am talking about
THIS record WILL NOT DISPLAY THE CALL AS PREVIOUSLY WORKED
