Description Howard Johnson 2018-01-18 05:26:36 UTC
Created attachment 139170 [details]
A simple demonstration database, but probably any database form will do.

To demonstrate:

1) Open the attached database.  
2) Edit the form.  
3) Right click on the field named Txt.  
4) Select Replace with... Pattern Field.

Actual result:  You are asked for the field's Column Width.

Expected result:  The field's type should be changed to a Pattern Field.

(Tip: Right click on the Txt field again and select Column...  Note, the title of the box that opens is still Properties: Text Box.)

Fails in LO 5.4.3.2 and 6.0.0.0

Debian 9.3 x86-64 (stretch), Cinnamon 3.2.7

-------------------------

Workaround:

You can insert a Pattern Field and then point it to your data.  To do this right click to the right of the Txt field in the darker gray area and select Insert Column > Pattern Field.  Then under Properites: Pattern Field, Data field... use the pull down to select Txt.  (Also rename this and delete the other Txt field in the table.)

Have tested this one. Pattern field couldn't be created by replacing an existing field to a pattern field. Wrong dialog for column width appears.

Fails with LO 5.4.4.2, works right with LO 5.3.7.2 on OpenSUSE 42.2 64bit rpm Linux. I set the earliest version to LO 5.4.3.2 following bug-description.
