Created attachment 79479 [details] Attached is a document which includes a chart. When saving, I included a Name in the data series, however when opening it, it shows as "Column B" (excluding quotes), and the Name of the data series is blank. Problem description: Having a chart's data series' Name of form "Range Name" (including quotes) is not retained after saving and reopening a document. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice Calc and create a chart with at least one data series 2. Set the Name of the data series to e.g. "Range Name" (including quotes). Be sure the legend is visible. Make note that the legend correctly labels the data series Range Name. 3. Save and close the document 4. Reopen the document. Make note that the legend no longer says Range Name. Current behavior: The data series Name appears to not be saved with the document in this situation. Expected behavior: The data series Name is expected to be retained after reopening the document. Operating System: Ubuntu Version: unspecified

So is what you did not possible, or undocumented (worked previously?) and broken? Any idea ;) thanks,

Maybe it is an undocumented feature. I see two options: 1. Remove the potentially unintended feature. If it was an intended feature, this may not be the most pleasent idea. 2. Correct the bug, and document the feature. Honestly, I've made use of this feature in many instances, and would like to see it persist in the future, but if there are technical issues with saving the data or file format limitations, then it is understandable why it may be removed.
(In reply to comment #2) > Honestly, I've made use of this feature in many instances, and would like to > see it persist in the future, Obviously ;) Do you know in which version it worked for the last time?
(In reply to comment #3) > Do you know in which version it worked for the last time? I don't recall a time that I've ever seen the Name retained is such a use.
(In reply to comment #4) > I don't recall a time that I've ever seen the Name retained is such a use. OK ... in comment #2 you write " .... I've made use of this feature in many instances,..." So I don't understand that :) Would it be OK to make an enhancement request from this, e.g. make it possible to add the name of a *single* data range as text in the field directly?

Yes, this could be considered an enhancement request. I'm not sure how to set this report to be an enhancement request (if possible).
This isn't an enhancement it's definitely a bug. I can confirm it's a regression, I can also confirm that the value is being stored just not read - if you open the document in 3.6.0 the label is correct. I'm bibisecting now
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 4.1.1.2 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Major - not loss of data but for all purposes for end user it looks like loss of data Highest - regression + common task Keywords - regression Whiteboard Status - bibisectrequest Markus - maybe one for you, I'll try to get you the bibisect shortly but it might be after bibisect40 and I need to redownload the daily (which takes me a couple days) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material

(This is an automated message.) LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched. You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA

I'm bibisecting now Can you please provide a document based on 3.6.0 that shows that it works? There is no xml element that could take the label string in ODF 1.2 so I fear there was a ugly hack in ealier versions that someone rightfully removed.
The fix in LO4.3 works but the series name field in the datarange dialog box is not captured instantly as it should. I have filled another bug for this: Bug 83162 - DATALOSS: series name not retained if another field is filled before pressing "ok"
