Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94363
User Defined file properties cannot be renamed
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:00 UTC
In File | Properties and "User Defined", when a field is renamed with "Info fields..." button, the new name isn't kept when the dialod box is closed. Therefore, the typed name is shown in Insert | Fields | Other and Document Information. Moreover, "User Defined" fields filled in 3.0beta2 doesn't appear in the Properties Dialog Box in 3.0rc2.
MRU->ES: please have a look.
Hello fcoiffie, I cannot confirm your issue here with OOo 3.0 (final) under Debian SID/Experimental AMD64. Could you give us some more information, please? 1. Which distro are you using? Which architecture? 2. Have you tried it with a newer version of OOo than RC2? TIA Thomas. P.S.: Another possibility is to attach a document to this issue, where this problem exists. Or maybe some screenshots or the like ... ;)
1. It was with Fedora 8 on x86 2. I've made the test on the 3.0 (but different distro : Gentoo x86) and I cannot reproduce the problem by creating a new document. The problem may be linked to the document format which was created with 3.0 beta. I'll make some test at office tomorrow.
Please attach a sample document
I reproduced the problem with the 3.0 and this document. So, I suppose that the document was corrupted by a previous 3.0 version. I cannot attach the document as its an internal confidential document but I attach 2 screenshots which show the problem. Maybe a check could be added to avoid this.

Please send me the document as e-mail mentioning the issue ID in the subject line. As a SUN employee I will keep this confidential.
@AMA: I'll forward you the document. Editing the info field name or the field content doesn't set the modifier flag.
Reassigned
@mru: Does our new UI in 3.1 fix the problem?
Not really... If you try to rename a Field in File.Properties.Custom, a new field will be generated when the dialog has been confirmed.
So at least now the problem is a different one. :-) Michael, please take over
hmm... i cannot reproduce this problem in DEV300m60. when i change the name of a custom property and click ok, then when opening the dialog again i get the property with the new name, and no additional ones. can anybody confirm that this problem really exists?
Yes, the problem now is fixed in OOo 3.2.
Closed.
