Not sure if this is an issue with new iOS or continuing, but around the end of April the N number no longer updated with the times on the log page.
 
As previously reported (several months ago), tail fill does not populate with the gate info sync. A manual AutoFill Now is required. Once performed, the tail fills with no problem.

Opening the app from cold and after sync - no tail

Immediately after auto sync, pressing AutoFill now - tail is populated

So I think I figured out what is happening. I download my trip with the aircraft type filling the aircraft line. When the AutoFill does its job, it looks like it won't overwrite existing fields. If I delete the aircraft type, the N number will populate. Is there a way to do both?

No, it's not going to fill any fields already filled in, even if they were imported that way. It's assuming your tail number is 320. It is behaving correctly in your scenario.

The tails have a/c type tied to them when you create them and when you view them. Search for a tail using the search tool and you'll see what I mean.
 
I don't see anything wrong in code or an intentional skip, what is happening is:

We check for info when:
  1. Leg is blocked out
  2. We close completed, i.e. 15 min after sched IN

When you command an AutoFill these windows are not in the equation, you can check a leg at any time and it will try to get the info. But the automatic system as outlined above is not hitting the legs for this reason.
