Description fml2 2020-09-23 21:11:02 UTC

Description:
I have a .doc file (old Word format). The file has a custom property "TheTestProperty" of type "Number" in its properties.

Then, in the document, I have two fields:
1. Just the value of the document property "TheTestProperty"
2. A formula "the value of the document property "TheTestProperty" + 1"

When I open this .doc document with Writer and press Ctrl+F9 to show the definitions of the fields, I can see the definition of the first field. But I can't see the definition of the second field. It's still displayed as the value.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached .doc file in Writer
2. Press Ctrl+F9

Actual Results:
The definition of the field with the formula can't be seen or edited

Expected Results:
Definitions of both fields can be seen and edited.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Display the definition of the field with the formula.

Comment 2 fml2 2020-09-24 05:35:07 UTC

The definition of the first field in Word: { DOCPROPERTY "TheTestProperty" }

The definition of the second field in Word: { = { DOCPROPERTY "TheTestProperty" } + 1 }

I confirm the described behaviour, but I could also see, that you can't edit the second filed with MS Word 2016. So I would say there's a problem with that field in the original document and it's not a LO bug => RESOLVED NOTABUG

Feel free to change it back to UNCONFIRMED with a short reasoning, if you disagree.

I can edit the second field with Word 2000 and with Word 2016 just fine.

Comment 5 fml2 2020-09-25 09:17:14 UTC

I press Alt+F9, then I see the definition of the field as text. I go to this text with the cursor and edit it.

In LO, I even don't see the definition of the field.

.docx saved in MSO from .doc

I reproduce this for .DOC. Property cannot be edited properly (to change custom DocProperty), Property + 1 cannot be edited at all. 
Fileopen .DOCX has different behavior: can be edited (not properly), but is imported wrong (doubled). 

Normally we split different filters, but I don't do it immediately, rather wait to see if something would be fixed here. 
Rule of thumb is search for existing bugs first, but I couldn't find one.

Note that TheTestProperty value can be changed in LO (File-Properties).
