Description: I inserted a field formula (eg 100 + 200) into a table. But then there is no choice in the right-click menu to edit it. There was a choice in the right-click menu to edit a field date in a table. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a field formula (eg 100 + 200) into a table 2. Right-click on the field formula and the menu has no choice to edit it Actual Results: The right-click menu does not have a choice to edit the field formula. And the field formula does not have a gray background like other fields (eg date). Expected Results: With other fields (eg date) in a table there is a choice in the right-click menu to it. Field formulas should have that option too. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: - There is a an edit option in the right-click menu for field formulas (eg 100 + 200) when not in a table - Other fields like date work in table

F2 does that; it is not a field, but a table cell formula, hence the difference. But a context menu would be useful, this would be a good enhancement.

Absolutely, we should list the function in the context menu (the main menu has it under Table). It's .uno:InsertFormula required in table.xml. But "Text Formula" is not a speaking name to me and I suggest "Edit Formula" here. The function does not distinguish between Insert and Edit, it just shows the formula bar initialized with or without content.
