Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6427
Provide better prompt in Insert input field dialogs
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
For text documents containing Input fields After doing Insert > Fields > Other > Functions tab > Input field, it is not obvious that the 'Reference' box may need to be filled in to provide a prompt for the user, before clicking the Insert button at the bottom of the dialog. If the Insert button is pressed first, before typing in a prompt, the Edit dialog pops up with two edit fields, but only the lower one can be edited. The upper one is empty but cannot be edited. It might be clearer if there were some explanatory text saying 'Enter Prompt text in the box below and then click the Insert button'. Both in this dialog and in the 'Edit Fields: Functions' dialog box, the label 'Reference' is confusing. A better label might be 'Prompt Text' or 'Enter Prompt Text' or 'Enter Prompt Label'.
Reassigned to Christian.
Reassiged to Bettina.
Considered for 'Office later'.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
