Editing DSU Entries
You can edit DSU entry groups by date. dsu will allow you to edit a DSU entry group using the dsu edit SUBCOMMAND date (n|today|t|tomorrow|y|yesterday|date DATE) you specify. dsu edit will open your DSU entry group entries in your editor, where you'll be able to perform editing functions against one or all of the entries. See "Customizing the dsu configuration file" in order to configure dsu to use the editor of your choice, in order to make editing more convenient.
If no entries exist for the DSU date, the editor will open and allow you to add entries for that date. If you have the :carry_over_entries_to_today configuration option setting set to true, entries from the last DSU date will be copied into the editor for your convenience. Understand that duplicate entries are not allowed; that is, the entry DESCRIPTION must be unique within an entry group (date), so non-unique entries will not be saved. The same holds true for entries that do not pass validation (DESCRIPTION must be between 2 and 256 characters (inclusive) in length).
