The function Cross-reference seems to be (partly) broken. When creating a cross-reference, everything seems fine. But when you try to add the created cross-reference into a Writer-document, the field "value" is empty. And when adding this cross-reference into a document, it only shows the number "1". This function was working in earlier versions, but in LibreOffice 6.2.8 it no longer works as expected. I don't know if this behaviour is the same on other OS'es, but I encountered this problem while running Linux Mint 19.2 (Tina), using LibreOffice, build ID: 1:6.2.8~rc2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (Dutch).

Oops... I think I made a mistake here. I managed to make it work. My mistake. I forgot to select "reference" in the menu "Add reference". The first choice is "page", but I had to select the option "reference". If I do that, i works like a charm. I'm very sorry for this false bug report. You can consider this as "not reported".
