Description Oleg Shchelykalnov 2020-06-26 06:11:31 UTC

I have a code to substitute variables into the document but when I try to insert and use numeric variable I have to use different decimal sign for different types of text fields. For User fields I need to use decimal dot and for SetExpression fields I need to use decimal comma. I've tried to set Value property as double but it doesn't work.

Example python3 code: https://pastebin.com/i7u7X9gB

Yes, maybe I need some assistance how to work with numeric data via API.

Step-by-step:

1. Start libreoffice in headless mode like: --accept=socket,host=0.0.0.0,port=8989;urp; --headless
2. Set correct libreoffice host and port as resolver.resolve argument in python3 script
3. Download .odt template
4. Fix path to in python3 script
5. Launch script and check generated pdf
6. Use decimal dot for someExpr field in dataNum variable in script
7. Launch script and check generated pdf
