Description titanemdg 2022-02-16 13:19:05 UTC
Description:
Master Document does not repeat the header of table when the source document is linked as file. To repeat header of table, the text file must be linked as DDE and option "Text Flow -> Repeat Header" must be set for the table in M.D.

Some options of Table Properties can be inherited without problem from the source file to the M.D but "Repeat header". This option need the above special trick that is why i think it is a bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an array in spreadsheet
2.Import the array and insert it in a Writer document as DDE. Make sure to break the table in 2 pages.
3.In Writer document check the table option "Text Flow -> Repeat Header"
3.Insert the Writer document in an Master document
4.On the M.D the header disappears on the 2nd page.
5.To display header on M.D, modify the link as DDE and reset table option "Repeat Header"

Actual Results:
No header on the 2nd page

Expected Results:
Header must appears on all pages. This option must be set ONCE on the Writer document source and one does not modify anything on M.D


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Repeat header. No need to modify M.D setting

Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

I set to 'Uncofirmed' because in version 7.3.1 the bug is still there.

I confirm the headers are repeated in source_writer.odt, but not in master.odm. Already seen in 6.3 and 3.5.
