Description: In Writer you can assign a data-source to the document (i.e. for mail-merge). You can open this dialog with menu: Edit - change datasource ?? in German: Bearbeiten - Datenbank austauschen. Dialog opens an dyou can assign a current or an new datasource. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create first an small darta-source - for example a writer-document with a table inside and same datas. 2. open a new writer document. then use menu: edit - change database 3. select your first created writer-document and choose the table. 4. Click on assign Actual Results: Dialog close immideatly. Reopen the dialog - the actual assined datasource (listbox left) is empty. Expected Results: As happend in version 5.3/5.4: Clicking on button "assign" (3) will not close the dialog but assign the datasource to the document - the source should be visible in the left listbox above (1) When reopening the dialog, all used datasources (assigned) will be visible in the left listbox. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: In the background the dialog works well - so the selected datasource is assigned to the document - only visible in the text line (2). There should be a differnce between buttons "assign" and "close". actual both do the same. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0

Are you sure the dialog isn't closed in LibreOffice 5.4? I've tried with different versions of LibreOffice and the dialog is always closed when clicking on the 'Define' button, even in LibreOffice 3.3
Hey Xisco, "Are you sure the dialog isn't closed in LibreOffice 5.4?" No... I have not test this in former versions. This was just a additional information for better UI design. If you do have two different buttons, they should do different things - visible to the user. actual there is the same behaviour. So my advice would be, that the button "assign" should only assign the data-base and refresh the left list, so the user can see, what he has done.
This bug has 2 issues: 1. the button "Define" should only assign the data-base and refresh the left list, and not also close it (there's another "Close" button) 2. on dialog (re)open, the actual defined datasource (listbox left) should be populated And I note that: This is Edit-Exchange Database.. Looks like not well chosen name "Exchange Database". Maybe it's better to have "Change Data Source" here.
