Bug ID: 159533
Summary: Add custom separators to all field variables
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: will.fried...@gmail.com
Description:
I am requesting the ability to add a custom separator to the insertion of field
variables. Here is my use case. I write in my text: "There are ten examples: 1)
blah, 2) blah blah, 3) blah blah blah" etc. Each of the numbers is the field
variable, but I have to manually enter the parentheses as the separator. I
would like to be able to set up the field variable to have a separator, just
like one can do with ordinary lists (but since multiple list entries can't go
on a single line, number range fields must be used instead). The current option
to insert a separator "with heading number" does not do what I want. Ideally
the separator could be configurable to allow an arbitrary number of characters
*before and after* the number, so that one could automatically insert, e.g.
[1]). Thank you for considering this enhancement.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Fields | Variables.
2. See that there is no option for adding a separator.
Actual Results:
No option for adding a separator.
Expected Results:
Option for adding a separator.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
