Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-09-22 05:48:37 UTC
That's a complex function, not easy to understand (see Bug 54774, Bug 54940). Help should be available with 1 click on Help button, <f1> should lead to related help.

Currently there is no help button, <f1> in dialog leads to Help "Welcome to the LOdev Calc Help".

Compare with Help in Menu 'Format -> Cells', where a Help button is available and <f1> leads to correct Help.

I found that with with Server Installation of "LibreOffice 3.6.2.1 rc  German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID:  ba822cc] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit), in Menu
'Format -> Conditional Formatting -> Manage' 
'Format -> Conditional Formatting -> Conditional Formatting' 
I think that never worked with new CF dialog.

Still a problem with parallel installation of Master "LOdev  3.7.0.0.alpha0+   -  ENGLISH UI / German Locale  [Build ID: 24761a6]"  {tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-09-18 23:21:04} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)

Was ok with 3.5.6
Comment 1 Sören 2012-12-30 12:22:32 UTC
I can confirm the behavior in
Version 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0)
on Ubuntu 12.04 (x86)

When pressing F1 in Format->Conditional Formatting->Manage one gets
https://help.libreoffice.org/scalc/sc.PushButton.25770.3?Language=en-US&System=UNIX&Version=4.0
which doesn't contain anything useful, and there neither is a Help button in the dialog. Opening for instance
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Conditional_Formatting
instead on pressing F1 would be more sensibel.

Tested with LO 4.4.0.3, Win 8.1

The help buttons are now available, but currently still leading to an empty help page.

Tested with LO 5.2+
The help buttons are available from LO 4.4, but still leading to an empty help page https://help.libreoffice.org/scalc/modules/scalc/ui/conditionalformatdialog/list?Language=en-US&System=WIN&Version=5.2.

This bug seems to have been fixed in the meantime.

F1 and Help button opens /text/scalc/01/05120000.xhp

Tested on master (6.1)
Comment 7 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2017-12-17 08:43:17 UTC
Already fixed for Version: 5.4.2.2 Build-ID: 22b09f6418e8c2d508a9eaf86b2399209b0990f4 CPU-Threads: 4; Betriebssystem:Windows 6.1; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group
Comment 8 Timur 2017-12-18 08:17:04 UTC
Can you please explain how it's fixed and add screenshots? 
When pressing F1 in Format->Conditional Formatting->Manage in 6.1+ I'm referred to https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/main0000.html so it DOESN'T look fixed to me.
Comment 9 Timur 2017-12-18 08:20:38 UTC
And in 6.0 beta:
https://help.libreoffice.org/scalc/modules/scalc/ui/condformatmanager/CONTAINER that is empty.

(In reply to Timur from comment #9)
I'm talking about local Help (Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE), UI=de-DE)

Also works fine with local help for Version: 5.4.3.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 92a7159f7e4af62137622921e809f8546db437e5, CPU-Threads: 4; 
Betriebssystem:Windows 6.1; UI-Render: Standard; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group, my default user profile, Tango theme, UI=en-US

I can confirm that (en-US) online wiki-help opens empty page or similar, but that (IMHO) indicates a problem with the automated Help wiki creation, not with missing documentation .

The documentation does exist, so this one is fixed more or less, the problem that there is no access via the wiki help
