Description Aron Budea 2022-05-02 07:14:24 UTC 
In a new document, enable Edit -> Track Changes -> Record, save it as FODT, and reload.

=> Record changes is disabled.
This is fine when using ODT format.

Observed in LO 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (8279d89d6e037def78f50c72fab2116ca56bef52), 3.3.0 / Ubuntu.

The setting is supposed to be stored in the XML as follows (taken from ODT):
<office:body>
    <office:text>
      <text:tracked-changes text:track-changes="true"/>

This is missing from the FODT, however if this last line is added manually, the setting is imported correctly, thus it's a FILESAVE issue.

The relevant code that disables the setting seems to be here:
