Description ELSUPREMO1 2015-05-30 21:51:06 UTC
Created attachment 116183 [details]
field format category

Problem:
In Libre base, create and open a table in edit mode (right click>>edit). Select field type texy[varchar]. Click format example ellipses button.  The field frmat box will appear. The field type [varchar] does not display any common categories listed in the solution. 

Solution: Add the following category formats as defaults

a. social security: 123-45-6789
b. phone: (999) - 555 - 5555
c. zip code: 90210-6399
d. password: ******
e. extension: 12345
f. fax: (999) - 555 – 5555

Justification: This will help keep database information accurate having these common  text input masks.

Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2017-03-27 08:42:44 UTC
Good idea. The list makes sense, you may also consider
* IP address (v4 "127.0.0.1" & v6 "2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7347/64")
* Credit card (1234 1234 1234 123)
* NHS for U.K. (123-123-123)

But basically the list should enable users to define own masks based on the examples. And last but not least it has to be consistent with Calc.

Please add keyword 'needsUXEval' and CC 'libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org' if input from UX is needed.

Dear ELSUPREMO1,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
