Description: From release 5.4 on. I have some recurring texts I insert in a document using Auto Text. I use 3 numbered title levels. The numbering is set in Tools > Heading and Numbering as follow: Number: 1,2,3 Start at: 1 Paragraph style: Title_3 Character style: None Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a text with a paragraph whose structure is numbered at 3rd level 2.Make the text an auto text: Ctrl+F3 >AutoText > New 3.Insert the text just created 4. The number disappear. Note: Click into the paragraph shows the correct Style name Ctrl+M doesn't restore the style making the number be visible (old Writer problem) Actual Results: The structure number of the paragraph doesn't appear Expected Results: The text inserted maintains the numbering set in Tools > Heading and Numbering Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Issue noticed since release 7.4.3.2, I don't checked it in previous versions Version: 7.6.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 69edd8b8ebc41d00b4de3915dc82f8f0fc3b6265 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: it-IT (it_IT); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded
Hello, Thank you for filing the bug. Please send us a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO', so please do change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once you have attached a document.

I think, this is the intended behaviour. It's not related to auto text but to every text Steps: 1. Create a paragraph 2. Add heading numbering with Tools -> Heading Numbering 3. Strg+a 4. Strg+c 5. Strg+n 6. Strg+v (no heading numbering) 7. Tools -> Heading Numbering: Entry in "Numbering" is "None" I remember a similar bug report, but couldn't find it. So for me it looks ike anb enhancement request like "settings of heading numbering of a copied document should override settings of the document whre it is pasted", but I'm not sure, if this would be a good solution in most cases. cc: Design-Team
See sample file enclosed as requested (Heading and numbering-Sample doc.odt). I checked with 7.6. I tried also with release 24.2.0.0 and the result is the same. Moreover, assigning the numbering in Tools>Heading numbering doesn't works (numbers don't compare) but I'll post this as separate bug.

I can follow the expectation that attaching a list style / heading numbering scheme to the paragraph should be taken into autotext and copy/paste actions. Mike, any blocker?
OTOH, if the list style is applied as a style (edit style > outline & list > list style, eg. set to "Numbering 123") it will be accepted as expected.
Thank you Heiko. If I assign a title style to a level of structure, I can't modify that style assigning a numbering style. This option appears in grey in edit style window. See screenshot enclosed. 123 are assigned in Tools>Heading_Numbering to the styles you can see in the sample document. Please let me know if I correctly understand your comment.

(In reply to Davide from comment #7) > I can't modify that style assigning a numbering style. Use Tools > Heading Numbering to remove the heading numbering, and finally you can assign the list in the paragraph style. I hope Mike can shed some light on all this shenanigans (once again).
(In reply to Davide from comment #0) > From release 5.4 on. I didn't try to repro yet, but this piece caught me: so was it different in am earlier version? If so, the first thing to do is to bisect which change made the difference. It might describe why.
I confirm the issue also in 5.4.
Summary: Create a list of headings, apply tools > heading numbering = number 123, and create an autotext; the user expectation to get numbered headings is reasonable. Workaround: instead heading numbering assign a list style to the paragraph
I wouldn't assign a list style to a paragraph style to get the numbering. Numbering styles are very unstable and may disappear from a release to another. Recently I wanted to try the last version of LO (I was still using 5.4, because a number of further releases reveal something missing or malfunctioning). A list style has been lost and a paragraph style matched with it has a different and unconfortable behaviour. I had to create a similar list style and assign it to the relevant paragraph styles.
