I recently entered three contests. It would be great if Polo were able to log these. In the RSGB UKAC contest, the fields to log the exchange were:
Their Call, Sent (RS), Rcvd(RS), Their Serial Number, Their locator.
In the UKEIDXSSB contest, the fields to log the exchange were:
Their Call, Sent (RS), Rcvd(RS), Their District.
In the CQ World-Wide DX Contest, the fields to log the exchange were:
Their Call, Sent (RS), Rcvd(RS), Their CQ Zone.
Would it be possible for templates to be added to include additional user-defined fields to suit common contests?

As I mentioned - there is ongoing work on contest templates.
But a further comment here is that the second and third example you mention above would be handled with the Generic Contest template see below
Serial numbers, however are not currently generated - they can however be handled out by keeping an eye on the QSO count at the top of the QSO list.
In this case, you would hand out 5 for the next QSO
And a reminder of your exchange is shown at the top

Thanks for the prompt reply Alan. I hope that you did not mind me putting in the request.
My main request was for the first example. Here the serial number is for the station worked, as is the locator. That’s why an extra field is needed.
Thanks,

That’s fine - the second and third are already useable.
