Description Jan-Oliver Lustig 2019-09-11 12:49:38 UTC 
Under
  Insert > Field > More Fields > Variables > Insert Formula

in LO 6.3.0.4 i can only choose from '-1234.56' and 'Name'

while in LO 6.0.7.3 i could choose from more formats, especially 'Additional formats' which have vanished now.

In our use-case we do some date calculations in Formula Fields and print the resulting date value with a custom date format.

I can't confirm it with

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

and also not with

Comment 2 Jan-Oliver Lustig 2019-09-12 07:20:26 UTC 
Thank you for testing. My Environment was:

Version: 6.3.0.4 (x86)
Build-ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99
CPU-Threads: 8; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE

I can reproduce the issue on other clients of our company.
So maybe the issue is located in our OPSI software delivery system.

Jan-Oliver, do you have any new informations about this issue? Are you also able to reproduce it in Safe Mode (Help => Restart in SafeMode)?

=> NEEDINFO

Our IT-Support informed me that they had accidentally delivered an 'experimental 6.3.0.4' - Package via OPSI. So maybe it didn't install fully correct.

When they stepped back to Version: 6.2.8.2 (x86), the issue could not be reproduced anymore. So from my point of view it is resolved.

Thank you for your effort and sorry for the inconvenience.

So let's close it. Feel free to reopen it, if it happens again.
