Description rcbigler 2017-10-05 17:09:52 UTC 
Description:
Date and time field Ctrl-D Ctrl-T Not displaying Date and time only Displaying Field.

Prior versions of office would display current date and time using those command. This is doing the same thing when you select the filed option.
This is on the linux mint release of 5.4.1.2

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press Ctrl-D 
2.Press Ctrl-T
3.

Actual Results:  
ctrl-d displays Date (fixed)
Ctrl-T Displays Time (fixed)

Expected Results:
ctrl-d Should display the current date on the page.
Ctrl-T Should display the current time on the page


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
This worked fine on the prior version of writer.

This needs to be cleaned up and designed for easy use.

<Ctrl>+D and <Ctrl>+T are not assigned by TDF devs as shortcuts for inserting the Date or Time field values. In Writer, <Ctrl>+D is assigned to Double Underline.

So, an old profile setting? Or maybe a customization something provided by distro.

Anyhow, you can assign (or reassign from defaults) any desired shortcuts from Tools -> Customize, the Time and the Date functions from the Insert category.
