Created attachment 173077 [details] The example file in current master and its export to PPTX Looks good now after the patches in bug 59323 with: Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 2a7e64da7f385de8dbba1802530e251cf29259fb CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: en-US (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: CL Although, the "Do not show on first slide" is not checked in PP as I'd expect it, yet the fields are correctly not shown on the first slide.
Closing per last comment. Regarding the date format problem indicated in: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142221#c3 I see that PP opens the pptx with correct localized date format as set in Impress, yet Impress reloads the exported pptx with default format. So export works correctly, the problem is clearly with the import. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 59323 ***
