Document compared as ODT, DOC in LO, DOC in MSO

This is DOC bug for export and import of Writer input fields, that were resolved in bug 128460 and bug 125103 for DOCX.

Open simple ODT attachment 151155 [details] and save as DOC. 
Open both in LO (looks good but is wrong, cannot be edited) and MSO (no field).

This about two different problems, so two bugs IMHO.

1. The field is visible in Office 2003 (not sure if it behaves as expected) 
2. Field can't be edited after export and re-import (seen in LibO 7.1 6.0 4.4.7.2 4.2)
3. Not sure how to create such field from scratch (tried to replicate, but had quite some issues with field editor. And if I got something.. it got blank on export to DOC (and reopen in LibreOffice). 
4. Not even sure if there is a limited list of allowed field types for DOC. It looks pretty predefined in Word 2003 (based on my superficial observations). However surely not known to much about fields

Dear Timur,

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
