Chart module data range selection counter intuitive
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:45:09 UTC
Present versions of OOo/SRB uses Charts in reports. When chart module was integrated into SRB used simple method to select data for chart, the field order. The fields added not with field name, only a number starting from 0. If I have table with field names: ID, StartDate, Age, Height, Weight. Then in SRB Data range it will 0,1,2,3,4. When you want to select one concrete field, you must remember to the place in the field list. I suggest to use Field name instead of numbers, in form [Fieldname].
reassign to the requirements team
don't need the dead end "requirements" to see that this is a highly reasonable request ...
