Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 77047
RPT: inputting and editing text in report may confuse
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:40:01 UTC
0. open a new database 1. create a table with any field 2. open the report designer and bind it to the table 3. create a 'textbox' -> you cannot insert any text, because it is a 'formatted field' => you have to take a 'label field' instead and change the property content of the property 'label', which is a listbox in the control property browser (pretty hidden) - the formatting of the inputted custom text is also confusing and limited, a more direct method of inputting and editing text in report would be nice
add keyword new_implementation
The Report Designer iTeam decided that this is no show stopper for the first release, and no "should be fixed if possible at all". targeting to "not determined" for the moment.
reset target
The Report Designer iTeam decided to retargeting this issue to 2.4.
Target changed to 3.0. The form control icon for 'text box' will be adjusted (icon and term), as that frame is a placeholder for a fomated data field; in the current state the user could associate the text box with a field, which enabled pure text input. Furthermore the frame of the 'text box' will show the path to the appropriate field and the data source.
Due to resources we'll have to consider in a further release.
Target moved.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
