Description web 2014-04-08 21:26:34 UTC 
A template contains some field variables.
If the template is instantiated, the input field dialog appears and you can fill every field.
But after closing and reopening the document, no field dialog appears anymore. I can click a field, but nothing happens.
Only selecting a field and press Strg+Shift+F9 force the dialog to appear again.
After some testing, I found out, that the behaviour will be different if the field is empty or not.

Expected behaviour is, that if you click a field, the input field dialog should appear.


Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.2.1 release

The way to handle input fields have changed and you can now fill them in place without clicking on it and display the dialog box. Just put the cursor on the field and change it. I'm closing this bug, please reopen if there is still a problem for you.

It works as you described, but NOT if the input field is inside a protected area. In this case you will get a dialog: Protected content can not be changed.
