With the empty report window open select F1 Actual Results: The help systems displays the page; file:///home/drew/Desktop/libreoffice6.1/help/en-US/text/shared/02/01170100.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=BASE#bm_id9469283 Expected Results: Open help page: file:///home/drew/Desktop/libreoffice6.1/help/en-US/text/shared/explorer/database/rep_main.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Where is the cursor when you press F1? In my case, it opens the main help page, the same way as with the old help system...
First time I did that I had opened an existing report and hadn't selected anything in it. The second time I may of messed up. I created new ODB and went right to reports, create in designer and it opens an empty page. But I didn't create a table and therefore didn't display the field picker dialog. So, with a table created and 'create report in designer' it opens a new report window and the 'Add Field' dialog. With the focus on the dialog (click on the frame) if I enter F1 I go to file:///home/drew/Desktop/libreoffice6.1/help/en-US/text/shared/explorer/database/rep_prop.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=BASE#bm_id5135044 Titled Properties and about the properties editor in the Report Builder window. I close the dialog and just click anywhere in the main report window content area. Now F1 takes me to file:///home/drew/Desktop/libreoffice6.1/help/en-US/text/shared/explorer/database/main.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=BASE Title Using Databases in LibreOffice Base and is the generic top level help page for Base. This is with Version: 6.1.0.1 Build ID: 378e26bd4f22a135cef5fa17afd5d4171d8da21a CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded and off-line package installed, both from the LibreOffice download page.

The HID sent to the Help is REPORTDESIGN_HID_RPT_FIELD_SEL, which maps to text/shared/explorer/database/rep_prop.html#bm_id5135044 as indicated in comment#2 However, it seems that the correct help content is approximately given by text/shared/explorer/database/rep_main.xhp under "To insert fields into the report". I think it deserve a page on its own, say "rep_insertfield.xhp" with description of the window and buttons.
