This bug is split from bug 56205. Write =PI() to cell A1. Write =TEXT(A1;"# ?/8") to B1. Write =A1 to B2 and format cell B2 with the format code '# ?/8'. Save document and reload it. Notice, that the formating in cell B2 is lost. The content of B1 shows, that LO understand a format code with fixed denominator. When you look at the source of the saved file (save to fods, then that is easier), and look into the styles, you find the element 'number:fraction' , but in there the attribute 'number:denominator-value' is missing. If you manually insert the missing attribute, it is not read.
since I am working on bug #56205 makes sense I think I take this too
