Bug ID: 122290
Summary: Edit Fields: select only fields of the same type
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: christianw_lehm...@arcor.de
Description:
Proposal for enhancement:
Right-clicking on a reference produces a context menu containing an item 'Edit
fields'. Upon selecting it, I can update a reference. This is one of the nicest
features of LO. Make it even better by registering the kind of field clicked by
the user as explained below.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a reference (implemented as a 'field').
2. Click the context-menu item 'Edit Fields'.
3. The 'Edit Fields' dialogue box pops up.
Actual Results:
The 'edit fields' dialog box shows the same configuration of highlighted items
that the user had used last time he created a reference (which is a good thing
for the action of inserting a _new_ reference).
Expected Results:
Instead, the dialog box should, in this case,
- in the 'Type' window, highlight the type of the reference clicked
- in the 'Selection' field, preselect that subset of Type that the clicked item
is an element of, like Table, Chapter numbering etc.
- in the 'Insert reference to' field, highlight the same kind of target used
for clicked item.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
In a large document, this service would save the user much time. Moreover, if,
in the exceptional case, he does not just want to update a reference but
instead to change a reference to a completely new type, he can just change the
parameters in the dialog box as usual.
