Description:
Hello LibreOffice-Community,


After some testing, I managed to insert chapter headings with different levels in the header as it is described in the LibreOffice-Help.

Example: Chapter title according to title page "Kopfnuss", this is marked as level 1 (style "title"). The chapter title is inserted as intended in the header.

Another chapter has, for example, the title "Experiments or How Little Michel Lost His Shoe". "Experiments" is separated from the subtitle by a manually set line break. Same way "or" is separated. "Experiments" is level 1 (style "title"), "or" is level 2 (style "heading 2") and "How Little ..." is level 3 (style "subtitle").

Inserting level 1 into the header is just as little of a problem as any other desired level. However, the chapters that have a simple title like "Kopfnuss" will be shown three times in the header. Changing the "Complete" field in the "chapter numbering settings" makes no difference.

I hope my request is understandable and formulated sufficiently that it becomes clear what my concern is. To summarize again briefly: I do not want the "Kopnuss Kopfnuss Kopfnuss" to be output in the header if I have inserted the three desired levels of the chapter heading  there.

My Question at the LibreOffice-Forum lead to the answer, that there is at the moment no solution. See: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/222591/add-composed-chapter-headline-to-header/

Maybe especially for writers the described feature would be interesting.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply the paragraph style that you defined for chapter titles to the chapter headings in your document.
2. Choose Insert - Header and Footer - Header or Insert - Header and Footer - Footer, and then select the page style for the current page from the sub-menu.
3. Click in the header or footer.
4. Choose Insert - Field - More Fields and click the Document tab.
5. Click "Chapter" in the Type list and "Chapter number and name" in the Format list.
6. Click Insert and then click Close.

(From LibreOffice help "headers - chapter information")


Actual Results:
If title of chapter one is "Kopfnuss" it is shown properly.
If the title of the chapter is "Experiments or How Little Michel Lost His Shoe" with different Levels for "Experiments", "or" and "How Little ..." wich are added and shown properly at header, so "Kopfnuss" is shown as "Kopfnuss Kopfnuss Kopfnuss".

Expected Results:
Theoretically all is correct, but not as intended.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It would be fine, if the chapter headlines were shown as they are, without repetition "Kopfnuss Kopfnuss Kopfnuss", even if there is another Chapter with a complex headline like "Experiments or How Little Michel Lost His Shoe".
