Description: You open "LibreOffice" and after saving a blank file, the "Modified" field in the "General" tab is not updated and remain blanked. Setup: Windows 10 LibreOffice 6.1.3.2 Scenario: Open "Writer" Save the file (blank file-no content) Open General Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open "Writer" 2."Save" the file (blank file-no content) 3.Open "General" Actual Results: Only the "Created" field changed, the "Modified" field remains blank. Expected Results: Both "Created" & "Modified" fields should be updated according to when file was saved. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Note: -This happened with "LibreOffice" version 6.1.6 as well. -Workaround: if you "Save" the file again, the "Modified" field do change. -if you "Save" the file & replace it with a file with the same name (which is also blank file), the "Modified" field does change. -If you add content to the file before saving, for example, "Character(s)", the "Modified" field does change, even if you delete all the content you added before saving. -Happened with "Save as" and "CTRL+S" as well -I did try to resetting "UserProfile", the same result. -This is the information from "Help"-"About LibreOffice": Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64) Build ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (he_IL); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL

If we check the file after the first saving in "Windows Properties" (Locating the file->"Right Click"->"Properties") the Modified field does change accordingly to when the file was saved Another thing to note is the "Help" description in the General tab and I quote : "Modified": Displays the date and time and author when the file was last saved in a LibreOffice file format. So according to this description, the file "Modified" field should be updated when saving the blank file.
You get the same result with a document with content inside: If you save it without any change the modified entry is not updated. So I'm not sure, that this is a bug, but I agree, that this not in line with the documentation: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/01/01100200.html?System=WIN&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=sfx/ui/documentinfopage/signature#bm_id3149284 So changed bug summary and added Design Team for input. While not change the entry "Modified" to "Last Save" (but it should be clear, if this includes AutoSave or not)
I noticed after some more testing that the workaround which I mentioned working in a random way, sometimes I just need to press it once (like I mentioned in the bug report) and "Modified" updated, but sometimes it still remains blank and maybe 2-3 more press on "Save" the "Modified" field changes correctly to what expected so this workaround isn't reliable enough.
Don't see any reason to not remove the flag after saving. So definitely a bug.
(In reply to Dieter from comment #3) > I agree, that this not in line with the documentation: Are changes needed to the current (7.1) documentation, shown here? Modified: Displays the date and time and author when the file was last saved in a LibreOffice file format. If yes, please tell me the needed change and I will make the change.
(In reply to sdc.blanco from comment #6) > If yes, please tell me the needed change and I will make the change. Regarding to Heiko (comment 5) it is a bug and not a problem of wrong documentation. So actually I won't change documentation.
(In reply to Dieter from comment #7) > So actually I won't change documentation. Thanks for confirmation. Maybe bug title should be changed to more accurately reflect the actual problem (and not refer to documentation). (could not understand the problem fully, so have not attempted to change it myself.)
Dear Topaz Englander, 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!
