Description Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2021-09-09 13:06:44 UTC

Description:
Currently, it is not possible to insert the current date or time in more than one cell in one go. It would be great to have that option.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select multiple cells in Calc
2. In the Insert menu, use "Date" or "Time"

Actual Results:
Only the top cell is populated.

Expected Results:
All cells are populated with the same value.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Earliest version I could test is:

Version: 6.2.5.2
Build ID: 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

But it is probably inherited from OOo.

Recent version tested:

Version: 7.2.0.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 614be4f5c67816389257027dc5e56c801a547089
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Yep, it would be cool

note that insert time is currently broken (for many?) see bug 126888
