Description: hi, when editing a MASTER DOCUMENT which has a few SECTIONS (linked documents), trying to achieve a book-like layout, having the SECTION TITLE appear in the left footer (or header), and the chapter title (Heading 1, H1) in the right footer (header), using fields... we bump into a problem... unlike the "Heading 1", the "Title" does not come from the text... it comes from the document's inner "Title" property (document properties / Title) Steps to Reproduce: 1. in a multi-page document, create a Title (give it a Title heading) 2. in the next page create a H1 (heading 1) heading -- "chapter title" 3. insert in the footer a "Title" field Actual Results: not the title you've created but very probably the document's template's name! it is the title that your document has as its "Title" property (document properties / title) Expected Results: the Title that you created in the text... (should appear in the footer's "Title" field) Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.5.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c21113d003cd3efa8c53188764377a8272d9d6de CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Please add a little example, which could help to reproduce the behavior you reported.
To reference the title, you can select it, got to Insert > Cross-reference > Set reference > give it a name in the "Name" field > Insert. The title field is now shaded in grey, and can be cross-referenced wherever you want in Insert > Cross-reference > Insert reference. Does that cover what you need? Having a way to reference the Title from the document properties is important and shouldn't be replaced, in my opinion.
