Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 62143
automatic lookup table, lov, list box
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:19 UTC
oo base does not provide an easy way to specify list boxes for foreign key lookups. it would be great if this would be more easy: 1. automatically display a list box if hit a foreign key field while entering data in a table. 2. specify the query and look of the list box when defining the tables foreign key field. 3. if the list-box is displayed, entering characters should narrow the displayed result. 4. allow to add a row to the lookup-table if you notice your value is not there. maybe display a second button on the side of a dropdown, or have a value "<new>" on top of the presented list.
Regarding the definition of issue priorities http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority this enhancement request cannot be P1.
