Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88793
FieldSeparator property doesn't work as expected
Last modified: 2009-07-20 15:57:46 UTC
Use Writer's mailmerge wizard and create a new database. The created data cannot be used because the Tab character is not set as FieldSeparator. Additionally: - close the wizard - call the database browser (F4) - edit the database of the newly created data source - change the separator to TAB ->the document is not modified Repeat the steps after connecting the database in the db-browser then it works.
regression, target set to 3.0
I wrote the issue too early. The changed setting gets lost sometimes. At least at restart of the office.
fs->oj: You don't need mail merge for this. Just use an arbitrary text-based database, and change, in the UI, the Field Delimiter to {Tab}. After saving, closing, and re-opening the document, this setting is gone. Looking into the content.xml there is <db:driver-settings> <db:delimiter db:field="	" db:string=""" db:decimal="." db:thousand=","/> <db:font-charset db:encoding="UTF-8"/> </db:driver-settings> I.e., the setting is properly written, but not properly read by the filter.
In a dev300m13
.
->OJ: Checked in a DEV300m14, wntmsci12 - it still doesn't work
In this case let's re-open it.
Fixed in cws dba30d.
Please verify. Thanks.
I can't reproduce the problem in a DEV300_m13 and DEV300_m17. So I also can't check the fix. Please add a description how to reproduce the issue and how to test the fix.
reassign back to oj
- start mail merge - go to 3. Insert address book - Push button Select Different Address List - Push button Create - Push button Save and set a name - Push button Ok - Push button Match Fields => The columns can not be matched
verified in CWS dba30d find more information about this CWS, like when it is available in the master builds, in EIS, the Environment Information System: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=DEV300%2Fdba30d
msc -> oj: thanks
