Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 85919
missing update for the Mouse-Over hint of a Mailmerge-fields after setting the DataColumnName of its TextFieldMaster
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:28:10 UTC
The hint that is displayed if the mouse gets moved over a MailMergeField is not updated after changing the DataColumnName via the API. Use the following steps to reproduce the bug: 1) create a new writer document 2) insert a mailmergefield (Ctrl+F2) - for example one that references Bibliography.biblio.Address 3) move the mouse over the new inserted mailmergefield and you will get the following hint: "Bibliography.biblio.Address" 4) now run the followin macro: xenum = ThisComponent.TextFields.createEnumeration() f = xenum.nextElement() f.TextFieldMaster.DataColumnName = "MyAddress" f.update 5) again, move the mouse over the mailmergefield and you will see, that the hint hasn't been updated, whereas the display of the field itself shows the new Columnname "<MyAddress>" . After saving and reopening the document, the field is still displayed as "<MyAddress>" and the hint is correct then, too.
