Created attachment 198100 [details] Example file from Writer If a document contains fields and is opened as read only, it is not possible to open any of the Fields / Edit field dialog, and if there are user fields in the document, it is not possible to easily copy their content, for example to use in another document. 1. Open attached document, it has a user field and Open as Read-only attribute set 2. Press Ctrl-F2, or try to double click on the field -> not working. Of course a bit of challenge is that you can't really insert new fields into an RO document from the Fields dialog, so at least the Insert button should be still kept disabled in this situation. Version: 25.2.0.0.beta1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a49bea44b7989afd850e9a4a56c2c8a0d1a1ff37 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 198101 [details] RW document: Edit Fields dialog is usable, user fields value can be reused
Created attachment 198102 [details] RO document: Field value is only copyable as a whole, and only if it is already inserted
