Find 6 full 365 calendar grids (Excluding Feb 29) of attributes, either positive or negative. 

This excludes attributes:

- Part of a GeoTour
- Partnership Cache
- Lost and Found Tour

I'm sorry, due to recent Guidelines change you can only require a single attribute.
Acceptable:
Quote
Attributes, as long as only one attribute is chosen.

I ran this by my Reviewer, and how it reads is a combination of Attributes needed in one single challenge. Not calendar grids. I am asking for a set of calendar grids, not a combo of them.

If I understand correctly and you want 6 calendars, each for a different attribute - this challenge then requires 6 different attributes. You are right, the decision is up to the reviewer.
I can only express doubts about the publishability of such a challenge.

Is there a checker that shows 365 calendars of individual cachers' attributes, like the one that shows all the attributes a cachers has with full DT grids?

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9AAXA/60460

To save the hassle, I may go this route, but I need a checker like that one to find local cachers that have requirements.

I tried that tool in several browsers and ran it several times with different results, and got this error on many:

Filters:(attributeFilter(Available in winter))Not printing calendar to reduce HTML output, too many days completed (366/366)
Filters:(attributeFilter(Poisonous plants))Not printing calendar to reduce HTML output, too many days completed (366/366)
Filters:(attributeFilter(Dangerous animals))Not printing calendar to reduce HTML output, too many days completed (366/366)

This is reference tool only

[TTO2](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=TTO2) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/94418 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

OK: same attributes{
17 attributes found out of a needed 1

Yes
some NOTE: This table has been truncated because the HTML output was too large.

I have reached out to someone I know who can take a look at it and fix it, if it can be fixed.

You quote the lines where it says:

Quote

Filters:(attributeFilter(Recommended for kids))Not printing calendar to reduce HTML output, too many days completed (366/366)

But this shouldn't be a problem - it just means you have the full calendar completed in that attribute. I assume the issue is with the ones where you don't have 366 but it opts not to print the table:

Quote

Filters:(attributeFilter(Scuba gear required))Not printing calendar to reduce HTML output, too few days completed (163/183)

Unfortunately there is not much I can do to fix this. Project-GC imposes a memory limit on checker scripts and if we output every table we would hit that limit. A possible alternative would be to set up 4-5 different scripts, each of which handles 1/4 or 1/5 of the possible attributes. You'd have to run them all to get all the data.

Hügh,

Would you have some time to take an interim step and create two scripts? One has positive attributes; the other has negative ones, and test run those.
Re: GCBFZ3X

Turns out, two was enough:

https://project-gc.com/Challenges/108728 (Positive)
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/108730 (Negative)

The table will still be omitted if you have all 366, since it is no longer useful at that point.
