Created attachment 102038 [details] Book list database I right click on the table and select edit which opens the table design. I have some fields for putting in currency with two decimal places. The first row I select will show an option for "format example," but if I select another decimal row it will not have that option. I have to exit the window and start over to see what the other rows are set to.
Not reproducible in LO 4.2.5.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86. I can see "Format example" option in all fields with decimal field type, no need to exit & reopen the window. Jeff, in what LO version you see the problem? Please set that in version field.
i can't confirm on LO 4.3.0.2 on Win 7. Does this still occur for you?

Created attachment 116178 [details] default field formats (input masks) on libre base are missing Hi, The field formats (input masks) on libre base are missing. Recommend adding some of the common default inut masks in addition to keeping the option available for users to buld thier own input masks.
Comment on attachment 116178 [details] default field formats (input masks) on libre base are missing Additional notes: I just noticed that this is only missing for text "field types" (i.e. [VARCHAR], [LONGVAR CHAR] or other). All other field types work perfectly. This is confusing to normal users especially when there is already an category for "text." This feature should be active on all text "field types".

Reply to comment 4-6: This isn't the bug, that is reported by the bugsubmitter. If you wish other formats for a varchar-field you could add a bug for a feature request. Please describe exactly what you are missing... The reported bug describes there missing of format-example when changing from one numeric field to another. This bug has never been confirmed. So I set this bug to unconfirmed.
Not reproducible on Version: 4.4.3.2 Build ID: 88805f81e9fe61362df02b9941de8e38a9b5fd16 Locale : fr_ OSX 10.10.3 @Jeff: this was originally reported against 4252. Please test again with a latest production release and report back here, as the problem doesn't seem to affect anyone else. Setting to NEEDINFO pending requested information. Please set back to UNCONFIRMED if you are still experiencing the problem.
Asked for information since 6 months. The bug has never been confirmed by any other person except bugsubmitter. Should we set this one as worksforme? There won't be any bugfix for LO 4.2 any more ...
I had forgotten about this one. It's working now with version 5.0.3.2 Either I saw the field wrong or it got fixed. Probably the former.
If we can't identify the specific patch then we set it as worksforme
