Have problems to understand the bug-description. 1. Open a *.odb-file 2. Menu Bar → Insert ... there I could read Form Report ... There is no item "Form Control >" because there is no possibility to create a form control without a form. If you open a form for editing, not input data, the toolbar "form-controls" should be shown automatically. Do you want to get form-control in an opened form through Insert → Form Control → ... ?
Created attachment 135575 [details] Database Form Mock Up showing Form Control menu item (In reply to robert from comment #1) > Have problems to understand the bug-description. > 1. Open a *.odb-file > 2. Menu Bar → Insert > ... there I could read > Form > Report > ... Thank you Robert for looking into this bug report. Continuing from where you got stuck, click on Form... then the Database Form window opens. Then in the Database Form window, select: Menu Bar → Insert There is no "Form Control >" as the last item like the rest of the LibreOffice suite. The bug report it to recommend adding it. Attached is a mockup with "Form Control >" Did you need any more information before you change the status of this bug report to NEW? Thank you once again.
@Óvári : I can confirm that the Insert menu doesn't contain a Forms entry and submenu, even in Form Design mode, adding forms to an existing form document is reliant on the form edit toolbar and associated control toolbar. Tested against Version: 5.4.0.3 Build ID: 7556cbc6811c9d992f4064ab9287069087d7f62c CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.12.6; UI render: default; Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Calc: group
The menu does appear in Writer (inactive by default), Calc (active by default), Impress (inactive by default), and Reports (inactive by default), yet not at all in Forms, so there is IMO quite clearly some UI inconsistency here.
Ideally it shouldn't go into the Insert menu, as it is a major feature of window/app, and instead it should have its own main menu bar item called 'Form'.
