Bug ID: 152919
Summary: LO Writer: user input fields not updating
automatically
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: m...@dgirke.de
Description:
I have a huge problem with LibreOffice 7.3 and above, which makes it unusable
for me. I am working a lot with user input fields. The advantage is, that I can
use them at as many positions inside the document as I like and they all update
automatically when I change one of them. This worked until LibreOffice 7.2.
Since LibreOffice 7.3 it´s broken. I have lots of documents using about 100
different user fields without problems until LibreOffice 7.2. Since LibreOffice
7.3 I need to press F9 to update them.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "Insert - Field - More Fields" or simply press CTRL+F2.
2. Select the Tab "Variables".
3. Select "User Field" on the left (box with the heading "Type").
4. Fill out "Name" and "Value" afterwards. Then click on the green checkmark
behind to save the new User field.
5. Select "Input field" under "Type".
6. Now you can insert the selected User field as an Input field into the
document. You can do this as many times as you want.
Actual Results:
Since LO 7.3 I need to press F9 to update them. This is annoying because I
often forget it an my documents sometimes keep the wrong content when exporting
them to PDF for example.
Expected Results:
Until LO 7.2, User fields inserted as Input fields with the same name were all
updated automatically by editing one of them.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Affects all Versions of LO Writer since 7.3.
