Description rene_halle 2005-05-10 15:44:37 UTC 
When designing form documents it is common to format one form field according to
preferences and then copy the field and modify it so that most properties are
the same. In OOo 1.9.100 and all previous milestones I have tested the bindings
field of the copied controls is somewhat linked for copied fields. So if I copy
a field, insert it at another position and change the binding of the copy the
binding of the orignial form field changes as well. This is really annoying as
it means that every field has to be inserted from scratch and all the common
properties like size, orientation and so on have to be set manually.

msc -> fs: AFAIK we allready have an issue for this, but I can't find it.

Comment 5 Frank Schönheit 2005-05-13 14:12:33 UTC 
Not sure if we already have an issue, but the problem is known.

The solution, which we cannot implement for 2.0 anymore, would cover more than
this concrete problem here: We should make the selection of a binding for a
control an explicit thing, instead of letting the user enter some expression,
which implicitly creates a new binding.

That is, there would be a property "Binding" for the controls, which lists all
existent bindings (and probably also allows creating new ones). Copying a form
control then would either result in a new control without binding, or at least
it would be extremely easy tom revoke the binding from the copied control (by
simply emptying the "Binding" property.

An explicit "Binding" property is implemented in CWS expconbin.
The specification at
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/xforms/GUI_spec_part2.sxw has been updated
accordingly.
