--- Comment #6 from William Friedman <will.fried...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > In other, generalized words you ask for a field "Paragraph Count" of a > certain paragraph style. I think this is not gonna fly. Besides a missing > definition in ODF I struggle with the basic concept of conditional variables > that not exist yet. Ultimately it sounds like a niche use case (actually > missing that) and rather suited for a macro. My apologies for responding a few days late. I believe this should be reopened. 1) Regarding the use case, I gave my own example in the initial report. For others, see: https://superuser.com/questions/166953/ms-word-reference-to-highest-number-in-a-numbered-list https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17315743/how-to-count-the-items-within-bulleted-list-vsto-word-2007 2) I understand that implementing this may require adding definitions to the ODF format, but I don't see the issue with "conditional variables that [do] not exist yet." That is the very nature of an enhancement request. It may make the request less likely to be fulfilled (there are, certainly, many requests of more necessary features that have gone unfulfilled for over a decade), but WONTFIX implies that the request is somehow fundamentally invalid, which is a judgment I don't understand. The ability to reference the number of elements of individual lists just seems like a basic function, even if its implementation is difficult. Thank you for your reconsideration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
