Description Jerzy Moruś 2016-12-05 16:15:06 UTC
Input fields for functions category (CTRL+F2) not open the dialog box when you click the mouse. But the dialog box opens when used shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + F9. The corresponding fields in the category variables working properly.
Comment 1 Buovjaga 2016-12-10 16:50:06 UTC
What do you mean "click the mouse"? If you mean double-click, I get the same behavior both with an Input field and a Variable: on double-click, it opens the split "Edit fields" dialog and on Ctrl-Shift-F9 it opens the smaller dialog, where we can change the name and content.

Please also test with a newer version, 5.2 or 5.3.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Comment 2 Jerzy Moruś 2016-12-10 17:53:03 UTC
This small dialog box should appear after single click the mouse,  like as the click on input lists. Double-clicking always opens the fields for editing.
Summary: a single clicking on the input field or input lists should open a dialog box to change the content like shortcuts CTRL+SHIFT+F9.
This should work like the input field  for variable.

If I insert from Variables tab Set variable and then try to single-click it in the document, no dialog box appears.

Comment 4 Jerzy Moruś 2016-12-11 15:24:10 UTC
For variables You must first "set variable" (may be hidden) and next put variables'  "input field" into document.
In the "variable" tab, there are three fields (interesting to me)
1. "Set variable" to determine and set the base value
2. "Show variable" to show the value in document
3. "Input field" to change the value of variable.

In the "function" tab is also "Input field". This field is different than the "Input field" above but must open this same dialog box like "Input field" for variables. 
Doing it when you defining field, and when use CTRL+SHIFT+F9. Not opening dialog box when you click field.
So, it can not change the content of a document in this place because CTRL+SHIFT+F9 opens a dialog boxes for all "Input" fields one after second.
Comment 5 Buovjaga 2016-12-11 16:07:04 UTC
Ok, now I got it. I will give steps.

Steps done before creating actual field:
1. Insert - Field - More fields
2. Variables - Set variable
3. Give it some useful name, format can be text, Invisible ticked. Insert it.

This field will open the dialog with one click:
1. Insert - Field - More fields
2. Variables - Input field. Insert it.

This field will require a double-click to edit:
1. Insert - Field - More fields
2. Functions - Input field. I let it reference the variable created in the first phase. Insert it.

This behavior is actually a regression, because in 3.6 it does not require a double-click.

Comment 6 Jerzy Moruś 2016-12-11 16:56:21 UTC
Sorry for the confusion. 
The "Input field" category of "Functions" require click of him and start writing new content. There is no open additional dialog box (on the contrary than are currently in the help system).
A second click will place the text cursor inside the field content and will make changes. You can accidentally delete a field.
Double-clicking is always ready to edit the design field (not content).
