It doesn't look like you've clicked 'copy'. When you do that, the data from the dayfile.txt columns gets copied to the 'current' columns on the left. When you've done that for each month, you can then save them by clicking OK.

That's because those don't have times, they are full days.

Beau,
I don't think you can have a time associated with longest dry period and longest wet periods nor daily temp ranges and as Steve said they are stats for day or days. Can't speak to why a time is shown in the Editor's dayfile column as these are not stored in the dayfile.txt nor the monthly log files. In the editor my station's dayfile and logfile columns show the same as yours.

What you I may not have got all of the date/time formats absolutely correct in the editor (or have been bothered to do a specific format where it wasn't important), so you just need to ignore any times which might appear in the editor where they are clearly not relevant - as with daily items. They will normally appear as midnight anyway.
