With the item type set to 'Log' we're not able to populate inventory fields, and according to the documentation there are no limits.

 

Either the documentation is wrong, or this is an bug?

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. We will assign the issue to our documentation team so we can add a note regarding Automatic inventory mode and log information type.

Regards,
Arturs.

Has it been checked that this Is this not a bug or an unwanted effect? I don't see the reason for this limitation and it could prove useful.

Issue confirmed, frontend intentionally forbid selecting item type log for automatic inventory. This could be done for performance reasons or simply because there was no use case, perhaps it should be reconsidered and allowed.
