Description Timur 2022-03-18 10:06:01 UTC
Record Macro does not record inserting sheets done via Sheet-Insert Sheet.. where a number of new sheets can be added.

Note1: Sheet-Insert Sheet at End.. is recorded.
Note2: Record Macro doesn't record mouse actions like sheet selection. That's confusing as seen in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/why-dont-recorded-macros-include-the-parameters-and-is-there-any-way-round-this/21470/6. Sheets can be selected via keyboard. 
Note3: Record Macro works with dispatch and doesn't really create proper code, so it should be rewritten completely. Workaround could be using MRI extension.

If I Go to Sheet - Insert Sheet - Ok, then the macro is recorded.

dim args2(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args2(0).Name = "Name"
args2(0).Value = "Sheet10"
args2(1).Name = "Index"
args2(1).Value = 1

dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Insert", "", 0, args2())

However, if I change the number of sheets to something different than 1, nothing is recorded

Thanks. I tried only with increased number. 
As for Duplicate Sheet, it records but sets REM so it doesn't work if not edited. Could be a separate bug but let's keep here for a while.

BTW, I cannot find how to insert multiple sheets with API Basic code. I just see insertNewByName which inserts a single sheet. I guess loop should be used.

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
