Description: The macOS AppStore version of LibreOffice comes with Java functionality disabled. As a result, there is currently no way to generate a database report. A UI entry exists under "Reports" to create a report with a wizard, but this is non-functional, clicking on it does nothing (because the wizard requires execution of Java code). Additionally, there is not even an entry to create a report manually. This means that even with an embedded Firebird database, or a non-Java connected DB engine backend, it is impossible to generate a database report. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an embedded Firebird database 2. Click on the Reports button on the left hand side of the main Base window. 3. Notice that there is only 1 option - Create report using wizard 4. Click on this option - nothing happens. 5. No report can be created. Actual Results: No database reports can be created. Expected Results: It should be possible to create a database report from a non-Java connected DB, whether embedded Firebird, or another DB backend engine. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.3.6.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c28ca90fd6e1a19e189fc16c05f8f8924961e12e CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded
Another example (if needed) that without Java, Base is less user-friendly.
+1 for all OS
Yeah, it would not be limited to macOS AppStore version: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Under-loved_areas#Replace_Java_report_generator_code LimeReport might work https://github.com/fralx/LimeReport
