Repro in:

Version: 7.5.0.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 77cd3d7ad4445740a0c6cf977992dafd8ebad8df
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The text variable is "0", but the counter is correct.
Workaround from comment 9 works.

Dear Sven Neuz (SERPENTEQ),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

--- Comment #9 from Sven Neuz (SERPENTEQ)  ---
I found a workaround.

-Insert the AutoText
-Save and close (!!!) the document
-Open it again
-Select the entire document
-Press F9
-Field variables will be updated and show the correct value

Closing the document is essential. It will not work otherwise.

So this affects all platforms, not just Windows. I updated the issue
accordingly. Hopefully this will be fixed soon as it has a huge impact on the
usage of AutoText.

Ok, I repro.

--- Comment #6 from Sven Neuz (SERPENTEQ)  ---
Did you add the complete document to AutoText?

Please try again and DO NOT SELECT THE FIRST LINE.

Why? The first line defines the variable PROJ which is referenced in the rest
of the text. 

Select everything but the first line, then add it to AutoText.

Open a new document. 

Insert a field with Set Variable. Variable name = PROJ, value = anything

Insert AutoText. The variable will not be displayed.

Ok, forget it: the reporter was talking about some 3rd party software.

Thank you very much for the explanation. I was able to test bug 115489 thanks
to it. I could not reproduce bug 115489, though, so maybe you could try it.

Actually, I could not repro your problem either.
I selected the first SQ-XXX and turned it to an autotext entry.
When I insert it either from the autotext dialog or with shortcut + F3, I get
SQ-XXX.

Note: To reproduce my issue, the AutoText needs to contain a field with
function "Show variable"

- Write any text, with formatting, table, ...
- Select the text
- Press Cntl+F3
- Select a category
- Enter a name (important!)
- Click on AutoText => New

> - Put that text into AutoText

How do I do this? I tried to figure AutoText out today for another report, but
failed.
