Description Panos Stokas 2021-03-27 18:39:34 UTC
Description:
If you create a new presentation and you choose a one of the available templates from the "Select a Template" startup dialog, the new document will inherit the template properties but it will not be linked to the template itself.

This means that when you save the new presentation and then change the template, the changes will not become available for the new presentation.

On the other hand, if you create the presentation from the main LibreOffice Templates section, the new presentation is properly linked to its template.

I cannot use the "EDITING, FILEOPEN, FILESAVE, FORMATTING, PRINTING, UI" keywords at the Summary because the problem is not related to any of these.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File > New > Presentation
2. Choose one of the available templates
3. Go to File > Properties

Actual Results:
The Template: field at properties is empty

Expected Results:
1. From the main LibreOffice application, go to Templates
2. Choose one of the available Impress templates
3. Go to File > Properties
4. The Template: field at properties, contains the chosen template


Reproducible: Always
