Description: Hello, in LibreOffice (6.0.5.2 x64 Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16) Writer I set variable (in menu Insert → click on Insert fields = or press CTRL+F2 → go to Variables card → go to Set variable → choose one or in Name write its name → then in the Value field write its value). Then in page header I show the same variable. Despite the variable has been set, it is shown as 0. Five years ago there was a similar question 14092 in LO 4.0.0.3, three years ago in LO 5.2.0.4 it still wasn’t changed, today in 6.0.5.2 it is still a bug… Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set variable (in menu Insert → click on Insert fields = or press CTRL+F2 → go to Variables card → go to Set variable → choose one or in Name write its name → then in the Value field write its value). 2. Then in page header I insert the same variable (CTRL+F2, instead of set variable, I use: set variable). Actual Results: Despite the variable has been set, it is shown as 0. Expected Results: The field should show the variable’s value (not 0). Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Yes, the variable is shown AFTER it has been set, inside the document. Sometimes, because it worked, until it stopped working. I do not know, what happened, why it doesn’t work any more. Furthermore, it doesn’t work in new documents, neither.
Hi rozek, I did not reproduce with LO 6.0.5.2 Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16 Threads CPU : 2; OS : Windows 6.1; UI Render : par défaut; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR); Calc: CL Can you please provide a sample showing your bug, and also precise which Windows OS you are using? Thank you.
Created attachment 143574 [details] ODT with the bug see page 14 in footnote (18 in whole document), there is 0 in header why?
Created attachment 143575 [details] PDF with the bug maybe it’s my OS (Windows 10 Home PL 64 bit), then I generated a PDF how I see the file, check page 14 in footnote (18 in whole document), there is 0 in header why?
My LO info in my language is: Wersja: 6.0.5.2 (x64) Build ID: 54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: domyślny; Ustawienia regionalne: pl-PL (pl_PL); Calc: CL
The name of the variable is "Autor".
(In reply to rozek19 from comment #5) > The name of the variable is "Autor". What do you have in Tools - Options - First Name ?
Thank you for the sample, rozek, Once changed the Author variable, this one has to be used as the first sevene fields availables in Insert > field. This means directly by selecting Author. You are wrongly using the Author variable by using Insert > Field > More Fields...: Variables Tab: Show variable.
Can you try it this way and confirm this works? Thank you.
