Description Harald Koester 2018-07-23 19:48:39 UTC
In order to reproduce:

[1] Start LibreOffice and create new XML Form Document: File > New > XML Form Document
[2] Display Options Dialogue: Tools > Options… LibreOffice Writer options are not available here. Expected: Available Writer options.

Bug exists in all LibreOffice versions (Win 10). Hence inherited from OOo.

Heiko, I add you in cc, just to make sure, that this is really a bug and not the intended behaviour (although I can't imagine, why this should be intended).
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2021-07-12 11:37:20 UTC
I'm afraid it is correct. XForms do not need/offer Writer features  https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/en-US/text/shared/guide/xforms.html

IMHO => WF

Harald, what do you think?
Comment 7 Robert Großkopf 2023-03-22 16:04:43 UTC
Why should Writer options be available for a xml form document?

It's the same behavior as it is from Base form documents. Writer won't be shown there also, because many of the entries will have no effect in this form documents.

So let's close as WONTFIX, as heiko suggested in comment 5. Harald, feel free to change it back to NEW with a short reasoning, if you disagree.
