Yes, unfortunately that feature was removed when the activity logs moved from Scoutbook to Internet Advancement. The extension is incapable of working with Internet Advancement.

Sorry for the raised hopes.

I have updated the Feature Assistant - What is it? post accordingly. I completely forgot that it had descriptions there and thought I had all the documentation fixed :^(
