Description: I have a huge problem with LibreOffice 7.3 and above, which makes it unusable for me. I am working a lot with user input fields. The advantage is, that I can use them at as many positions inside the document as I like and they all update automatically when I change one of them. This worked until LibreOffice 7.2. Since LibreOffice 7.3 it´s broken. I have lots of documents using about 100 different user fields without problems until LibreOffice 7.2. Since LibreOffice 7.3 I need to press F9 to update them. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to "Insert - Field - More Fields" or simply press CTRL+F2. 2. Select the Tab "Variables". 3. Select "User Field" on the left (box with the heading "Type"). 4. Fill out "Name" and "Value" afterwards. Then click on the green checkmark behind to save the new User field. 5. Select "Input field" under "Type". 6. Now you can insert the selected User field as an Input field into the document. You can do this as many times as you want. Actual Results: Since LO 7.3 I need to press F9 to update them. This is annoying because I often forget it an my documents sometimes keep the wrong content when exporting them to PDF for example. Expected Results: Until LO 7.2, User fields inserted as Input fields with the same name were all updated automatically by editing one of them. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Affects all Versions of LO Writer since 7.3.
Could you attach a sample file.
Created attachment 184527 [details] Sample file with User Input fields Ok, i attached a sample file. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please ask me.
Maybe the option Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice Writer/General/Automatically Update - Fields. With your sample, changing one of the input fields update the others.

I hopefully installed 7.4.4.1, tested -> fail, installed 7.5, tested -> fail, installed 7.2.7 -> works! Are you sure you didn´t press F9 or doubleclicked one of the fields to edit the content? In 7.2.7, you can go directly into the grey area of any field, edit it, and all the other fields in the dokument update immediately. In LO > 7.2.7.2 you can go into the grey area of any field too, but all the other fields will not update until you update the fields manually i.e. by pressing F9. Please have a look at the attached PDF <comparison_user_input_fields_in_lo_7_5_vs_lo_7_2.pdf> Thanks for your support.

For me works Version: 7.4.4.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 988f4a351a6fa8cf4bdf2bdc873ca12cf8cbe625 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL I edit one of the fields, [Ok], and the three fields are updated.

I don´t think so. You clicked [Ok], but in 7.2.7 there was no need to click [Ok]. Please see the attached video. <editing_user_input_fields_in_lo_7_2_7_and_earlier.mov>. Does it work for you like in the video? I wonder why it does not for me in Linux, macOS and Windows (10 and 11). I tried it everywhere and since 7.3 there is no automatic update like in the video.
Ok I see, I was doing double-click to open the box to edit. Reproducible.

Please note that this bug affects all versions of LO since 7.3. Another hint: this bug leads to 152920 (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152920), which corresponds with this bug but is much more severe: User Input fields in headers or footers are not visible at all when opening a document in LO 7.3 and above. But I think when 152919 is fixed, 152920 will automatically be fixed too :-)

Hi Bjoern, Just tested it with the dev versions of 24.2.7 and 24.8.2. On both versions, it works perfect. I´m really glad about this. Thank you very much. Looking forward to the stable versions.
