Description fmanchen 2024-02-29 22:54:18 UTC
Description:
When exporting an MS Word document from SharePoint and afterwards embedding a custom dropdown property, Libre Office is sometimes unable to display the property correctly. In the document properties, the field value always diverts from the view value. But sometimes Libre Office is still able to display the actual value stored inside the custom properties path. 

I am unable to give any explanation as to why this happens only sometimes. To test this bug yourself you can open the two attached documents. The first one will always be displayed correctly. The second one will be displayed correctly in MS Word, however Libre Office will display the value stored inside the view of the document but not the actual value stored inside the property database.
 
The document which will be displayed correctly is named “exportedCorrect” the document which will be displayed wrong is named “exportedWrong”. Both can be found in the attachments and will help you to experience the bug on your own.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the first document from the attachments
2. Open the second document from the attachments 
2. Compare the documents
4. Compare the actual property value saved in the custom property database

Actual Results:
AUS
AL

Expected Results:
STA
VHB


Reproducible: Always

Hi fmanchen, is this a one off situation or has this happened while editing other documents as well. If yes, can you please attach those as well.

Hello Naresh, as requested I have attached another document which has the same error.

Said document should show the value "ARG" beneath the text "Doc-property – with drop-down:", but actually displays "INFO". 

The document is named "dropdown". If you need any additional resources feel free to ask.
