Description: When adding a comment to a document, user information such as the name as well as the picture are not available in the iOS app and a string is shown which is not really useful for a user (LocalHost#0). However this information (or at lease parts of it) is available in the iOS settings. Maybe the name found in the iOS settings could/should also be used within the document settings (meta information of the document)? Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a document with some text 2. Add a comment (Insert > Comment) Actual Results: The picture/avatar of the user as well as the name of the user is missing/wrong. Picutre: empty picture Name: LocalHost#0 Expected Results: At least the name should be correctly set and taken from the device settings. As a picture one could also use the profile picture from the device settings or just place a "dummy" icon so the circle is not just empty. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Please see attached screenshots.
Created attachment 149612 [details] Missing user information in comment dialog
Created attachment 149613 [details] Name / Avatar in iOS device settings Maybe one could use those information in the app?
Created attachment 149614 [details] Name of user is not present in the document meta data too Maybe one could use the information from the iOS device settings too?
Created attachment 149615 [details] Document meta data set Just an example to show how it could work.
Could you check the information are in Tools/Options/LO/User Data (see also https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/18242/why-doesnt-the-author-field-contain-my-name/)?
Hi Julien This is about the iOS app which does not have the same functionality as the "Desktop" app. As far as I can tell, there is no Tools/Options/LO/User Data. All the best, Nicolas
I think accessing the user name is not going to be trivial; see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16897605/any-way-to-get-the-name-of-iphone-user .
I was thinking about having multilple fields in the app settings (like "template path URL"), where a user can enter his/her personal settings like you can do in the desktop version where we have: * Company * First/last name/initials * Street * City/state/ZIP * Country/region etc. We can then set those settings through AppConfig/MDM too or the user can enter it manually (I think).
Yep, that will ot be too hard to implement, I assume.
The solution we have in 6.4.9 (1) covers the "name" part and there is a sensible "default" avatar instead of just an empty circle. I believe this is a good solution. Let's close this issue as "fixed". Thanks a lot to the Collabora Team and especially Tor for taking care of this!

This is a bugtracker first for LibreOffice, is this fixed on LO? If yes, in which version of LO (there's no 6.4.9 in LO) and what's the ref of the patch?
Dear Nicolas Christener, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
