ODM master document after update, then export as PDF

In contrast to Buzilla 164306, Heading Numbering just will not work correctly in the Master Document no matter what.

1. Supply Docs: Heading numbering is correct in ALL supply docs in both the Header & in Table + Figure serial Captions.
2. Master Doc 1: independantly setup via menu:Tools to be identical to all supply chapters.
3. Master Doc2: all supply docs have a field in the left-header to show Chapter number + name for Heading 1, and that works fine on every page.
4. Master Doc3: most of the chapter supply docs have both image ('figure') + Table fields in the caption as "chapter.figure" or "chapter.table" fields. The 'chapter' part of the field does not work at all, whilst the 'image' and 'table' fields do "work" but not as independant fields, but rather go serially from 1 to 100 throughout the document, and NOT on a chapter-by-chapter basis.

This bug is reported within Python3docs, and the various supply + master doc are available  (see chapter01.odt, etc + Programming-In-Python3.odm at https://github.com/alexkemp9/Python3docs) (also a PDF for each doc at same site).

Alex, thank you for reporting the bug. It seems, you're using an old version of LO.  Could you please retest with actual version 24.8? Please provide information from Help -> About LibreOffice

Hi Dieter

Each attachment that I have loaded states a variant on the following:

In response, across 149 seconds you copy/pasted four identical, blindly ignorant, error-filled comments:-

You may think this is a valuable use of your time, but it is a criminal waste of mine. Kindly desist.

No working as a volunteer, I agree, it is a waste of time, so I remove myself from cc-list
