Description Axel Bock 2015-06-21 21:42:14 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

format a table with a header row, format the header using a cusotom header row paragraph style.

apply the newly created autoformat to a new table.


RESULT:
the header row will look like the original header.
But the paragraph styles of the original table are not applied.


EXPECTED RESULT:
that the paragraph styles are applied.


PERSONAL SIDE NOTE:
This is my first document with a LOT of tables in LO. It will most probably be the last - formatting a lot of tables is a serious pain in ... ... .

Please attach a document that makes it easier for us to repro. Setting to NEEDINFO - once you attach a simple document, please set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!

The result of the failed application of a paragraph style with autoformat

If you know what to look for (paragraph styles in the table header row) you can see what is NOT there - which is the paragraph style "Table Heading" in the header row.
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2015-06-22 08:32:16 UTC
If you redefine your default Table Header paragraph style in the styles and formatting dialog rather than via AutoFormat > New, this appears to work OK.

By default, if the Table Header option is not clicked in the Table Properties dialog, the first row will be assigned the Table Content paragraph style. When you tick the Table Header option in the Table Properties dialog, the default Table Header style is applied (even if you have set a different paragraph style. In order to change this, you need to change the default Table Header style in Styles and Formatting - I would admit that this kind of defeats having an AutoFormat > New dialog, if you can't set up your own customised paragraph styles as well.

Confirming

Setting as:
Minor - slows down professional quality work but will not prevent it;
Low - default for minor issues.

Would be nice to find out if this is a regression or not (testing 3.3 and seeing if the issue was around there would tell us that information).

Well, MS Paint also makes professional work hard but possible :) . After editing only a single document I must say tables in LO need a _much_ better approach.

But to the point: Checked version 3.3.4.1, same thing.

unchanged, still open

Bug still present.


LIBREOFFICE INFORMATION:

Version: 5.4.2.2
Build ID: 22b09f6418e8c2d508a9eaf86b2399209b0990f4
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 10.13; UI render: default; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group



STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

* add table
* format table header with PARAGRAPH STYLE "Table heading"
* format table contents with PARAGRAPH STYLE "Table contents"
* create a table auto-format from that
  * Table auto-format dialog
  * Use "Add" when table is marked to add new format type

* Create NEW table
* format table with table auto-format style.



RESULT:
* The PARAGRAPH STYLES are *NOT* applied
* ... just the formatting is.



EXPECTED RESULT:
* the formatting is not applied,
* but the PARAGRAPH STYLE is.



That is a real PITA if you format a lot of tables and want to change all headings / contents at once.
Comment 10 Axel Bock 2017-10-26 19:51:50 UTC
set version field to "inherited from ooo" cause I already tested with 3.3.4.1, as per the instructions.

This is still present.

Note: Important to check the paragraph style! The formatting (e.g., bold header) is applied, but the paragraph style is not. As such, you lose the format if you press ctrl+m (presumably resetting format)

No change - repro 7.1+ using Linux.

The paragraph style on the first row is still "Table Contents" and not "Table Header".
