Description Wagner Schalch Mendes 2017-12-02 18:49:03 UTC
Description:
I have a document where my equations are numbered (used fn+F3 trick). I have customized this numbering to follow the chapter's number. For instance, Chapter 5 has equantions numbered like 5.1, 5.2, etc. This customization is done by editing the field added by fn+F3 trick.
Then, I have a master document where I have inserted my original document. Everything is ok, except for the equation numbering. In the master document, it seems the field used for this loses the customization. Even more, it is not possible to edit the field in the master document, as we can do for a field in the footer for page numbering, for example.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document.
2. Create a chapter using Title1 style.
3. Number this chapter.
4. Add an equation using the fn+F3 trick. Check that the field with the equation number is equal to '1'.
5. Change the field with the equation number to use the chapter number.
6. Select the field and press F9 to update it. Check that it goes to '1.1'.
7. Create a master document and change the numbering of topics structure to make sure Title1 style is numbered.
8. Insert the document created in [1] into the master document.
9. Check that everything is ok, except for the equation number that is '1'.
10. Check that there is no way to edit the field with the equation number.
11. Check that there is no way to make the equation number equal to the one in the original document.

Actual Results:  
Equation numbering in the master document has not the customizations applied to the equation numbering in the original document.

Expected Results:
Fields used in the equation numbering should be editable in the master document to be able to reproduce the same result as the one in the subdocuments.


Reproducible: Always

Example of a document with equation numbering

This is na example of a document with one single chapter and one equation numbered using the fn+F3 trick. The field with the equation number has been edited to use the chapter number.

Example of master document inserting a document with equation numbering

This is an example of a máster document where I have inserted the document attached. Here, the equation number is not the same as the one in the original document. There is no way to make it the same.

Some nice guy from the community helped me out. I just needed to create an numbered equation in the master document, change the numbering format and delete this equation. Everything worked fine. There is no need to proceed with this bug.
