Created attachment 81794 [details] in the sample there's a working conditional text referring a variable in the text, and a not-working conditional text referring a document variable. Problem description: I would like to be able to use a document user property to switch some conditional text (or hidden text or hidden paragraph) on or off Steps to reproduce: 1. set a user document property (eg: "Onoff" type: boolean) 2. insert a field ->conditional text (or hidden text or hidden paragraph) 3. set as "condition" Onoff EQ true (or Onoff==TRUE or Onoff==1) 4. set an hidden text eg: "mytext" Current behavior: change the Onoff value, the text doesn't switch status Expected behavior: it should Am I wrong calling the variable itself? I know that I can set an hidden variable somewhere in the text to do the trick, but I consider that just a workaround: setting a variable anywhere in the text is not that coherent, and it'also difficult to find to change state. Thank you Operating System: Windows 7 Version: 4.0.4.2 release
Hi, in fact, you can't call a variable that is not defined in the document. The fact that it exists in the properties is not enough for the conditional test. I set your request as an enhancement. Sophie

Comment on attachment 161984 [details] screenshots Greetings all, the screenshots just uploaded (Libre Office V 6.5.3.2, localized German, running on a Mac OS High Sierra) show that a document property can be used (just like a variable) EXCEPT in a conditional text field, where it does NOT update. This is not really intuitive.... May I suggest, that user defined document properties be automagically linked to the document variables? Cheers Joachim
