Description Holger Jakobs 2014-08-01 07:15:45 UTC
Remark: Actually, the "bug" (why is it called a bug if I am filing an enhancement request??) hasn't appeared with a certain version, because it isn't a bug, just a lacking feature.

Problem description: 
Headers and footers in spreadsheets cannot be formatted the same way as in LO Writer. It is especially annoying that the only internationally accepted way of writing a date (ISO8601, which should be the default anywhere and everywhere in LO, but it isn't) cannot be chosen for a date in headers and footers, only in cells.


Steps to reproduce:
1. format, page
2. header (or footer, for that matter)
3. edit
4. put cursor in one of the three fields
5. click the last but one button to insert the date
6. OK
7. print the page
8. get annoyed by the date in non-8601 format

Current behavior:
date cannot be formatted AND the default is not the ISO standard

Expected behavior:
date can be formatted (like in cells and in footers of LO Writer) AND ISO standard is the default

              
Operating System: All
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

Changed from normal to enhancement.

Or/And if at least was possible make reference to a sheet cell, like in Lotus 123.
