Description:
The link to the help button in the "Protect Spreadsheet Structure" Dialog is inconsistent.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open New Calc
2. Menu > Tools > Protect Spreadsheet Structure (.uno:ToolProtectionDocument)
3. Press the Help

Actual Results:
4. The page about "Password" in each country opens.
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en-US/text/shared/01/password_dlg.html

This is not wrong, but in this case it is not an appropriate link.


Expected Results:
4. The page about "Protect Document" in each country opens.
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en-US/text/scalc/01/06060000.html

As a hint for that item, it is easy to understand if you add a link related to the recommended password specifications.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Thanks nobu and Alec!

@Alec: you can update the fields when confirming (earliest version, affected OSs...) like I just did.

Was the same in 6.1.0.3, but was OK back in 6.0, where it would link to https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/en-US/text/scalc/01/06060200.html

My guess is that the help page was split for 6.1.

This should be where the Help ID is set for this dialog: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/view/tabvwsh3.cxx?r=c8662205#1248

Olivier, I tested and the dialog's Help button still goes to the Password help page instead of Protect Document.

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: bdf3b5ce49b0e4ee1b4525d344cfb037ef473059
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

(F1 on menu hover _does_ work however, but I already worked in 7.6)
Comment 8 Olivier Hallot 2024-08-17 01:57:25 UTC
The dialog sfx2/uiconfig/ui/password.ui is generic and used in many other places, so in the case of Protect document structure, the Help button will show the password dialog help.

Closing wontfix.
