Description Mike Fridley 2023-10-16 22:13:44 UTC
Description:
I keep a large running document, and often time and date stamp my entries.

After installing LibreOffice 7.6.2.1, this happened, unlike with the previous current version.  

Specifically: I frequently edit documents that I like to time and date stamp in Writer for LibreOffice.  I made a shortcut key combination, and when I used it, the time for each entry was reverted to the current time from the PC.  Even though the actual time at the time of previous text entries was done at ITS current system time.

My current workaround when editing is to use the toolbar button for field insertion, and have to manually specify that the insert field uses a fixed time or date entry.  And I can't use a shortcut key combination.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a Writer document for editing.
2.  Select insert time from a dialog.
3.  Wait for an adequate time period to elapse.
4.  Repeat the insert time function and then see what the previous time stamps read in the document.


Actual Results:
The current system time was put in the insert fields previously inserted.

Expected Results:
It should have inserted the current system time and left the previous insert time function fields at the time they were actually inserted.


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Regina Henschel 2023-10-17 00:21:20 UTC
The command "Time" (.uno:InsertTimeField) has inserted the "Time (fixed)" field in LibreOffice 5 and 6. It inserts the "Time" field in LibreOffice 7.6.

Please see also the discussion in bug 139141 and bug 157337.

It is likely duplicate to bug 157337.

Indeed, let's keep the conversation going in bug 157337.
Thank you Regina and Mike.
