Description Aron Budea 2018-10-24 05:20:21 UTC

This concerns Word's Review -> Restrict Editing feature.

There the following can be controlled separately:
1. Formatting restrictions.
2. Different editing restrictions with possible exceptions.
3. Whether the restriction setting is password-protected.

Currently (as of 6.2 alpha1) the "Filling in forms" editing restriction is supported via the compatibility setting "Protect form", but without the ability to set/reset the password.

This is what's currently possible in Writer:

It's not like nothing is possible at the moment, the point of this ticket is to improve interoperability by allowing further settings, and adapt the user interface accordingly.
