Unlocking specific glossary entries with console commands

[MultiVaCdb]

So I'm doing a kind of perfectionist playthrough but I've got some problems with the glossary. One of the bestiary entries is bugged and won't complete (Morvudd) and I'm pretty sure I missed out on a couple characters (Holger Blackhand and Svanrige Tuirseach). I know there are commands to unlock everything in the bestiary and character sections, but they really do unlock everything, including all the potential outcomes that contradict the ones you actually have. Does anyone know of a way to unlock a certain glossary entry alone, either by console commands or any other method?

Not 100% sure this is possible, as I believe quest flags are directly tied to journal entries. I know you need to throw journal flags along with others in the right order in order to force a quest in the console. (I may be wrong, though!)

Interesting, thanks for the input. The only thing that makes me second guess it is the fact that, like I mentioned before, there are console commands that can unlock all of the glossary entries (for example "activateAllGlossaryCharacters") and it seems pretty independent of any quest status. It seems like if it's possible to force them all to unlock, there would be a way to force just one to unlock. But unfortunately I don't understand the game engine well enough to figure that out myself.

Thought this was possible, but after checking a little, I'm not so sure. There is a giant list of various console commands here: https://witcher.gamepedia.com/Witcher_3_Exec_Functions

Many don't do anything, or anything visible, however. I tried to search for some obvious entries, but couldn't find something about individual character entries. It's possible to read a single book for example, but that won't help for non-monster entries. You can look around and see if you find anything. Just be aware that a lot of them are debug/cheat commands, like addwhatever.

That list is great, thank you for that. Seems like a good place to start, I'll keep trying and see what I can uncover.
