Description Robert Großkopf 2018-07-26 13:22:55 UTC
Created attachment 143785 [details]
Try to save data type in elements of the instance "Personen"

Open the attached xmlform.odt 
There is created a second instance "Personen" (only creatable with daily build from 2018-07-26 or newer, see bug118862)
Go to instanceData > Vorname
Edit the element and set data type to "String".
Press "OK".
Reopen the element and have a look.
No data type has been saved.

This is a serious problem for XML-Forms. There were created bindings for this element (don't know why, but there are created two bindings for every element in the second instance - deleting one of them creates two new ...). The bindings contain the data type.
I have created bindings without data type - but it won't work. XML-Forms will need a datatype for every content, which should be saved in the form. So the fields of the form will appear with a red border to say: Wrong data type - couldn't be saved.

Tested with
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: f30afe009e9e9da32dfc0aa1490d1f7ce787d101
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: kde4;

Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

On OpenSUSE 42.3 64bit rpm Linux

It's the same buggy behavior in LO 3.6.7.2 - so could be inherited by OOo.

Could be it is better to block to create a second instance (see bug 118862), because there will be a second bug if this bug has been solved: 
Every time I open the xform-document new bindings for the second instance will be created automatically ...

Hello Robert, *,
thank you very much for reporting this bug :)

I can reproduce it with

OS: Debian Testing AMD64

Comment 4 Robert Großkopf 2019-07-30 07:27:02 UTC
Bug still exists in LO 6.3.0.2 on OpenSUSE 15 64bit rpm Linux. 

Note: Form-controls aren't visible with GTK3: Bug 122358
Data Navigator isn't shown any more in the standard toolbar. So you have to change the content of a toolbar ad have to add the Data Navigator to look for this bug.
Comment 5 Robert Großkopf 2019-07-30 07:51:17 UTC
New bug - you couldn't see the data navigator any more: bug 126611

Still the same buggy behavior in 
Version: 7.2.0.2 / LibreOffice Community

If there isn't any solution possible:

Let us drop the possibility to add Instances by the list box in the sidebar. Better the possibility isn't shown than there is a total buggy function, which doesn't work.
