Hello, I've created a template (.ott) which includes several fields. One of those fields has the type Date/fixed and should represent the create date of the document. If i create a new writer-document based on this template everything looks fine until i do the first save as .odt. In the moment the document gets saved i can see how my single date fields seems to clone itself .... at the end i do see 2 date-fields on the place where my former single date-field was. Saving the document again doesnt results in such a misbehaviour - so it seems to just happen on the first save - after creation based on the template. I am using: several versions between 4.0.4 and 4.1 on windows, linux and mac os x. Is that a known issue? anything i can provide to reproduce this issue? Best regards fidel

Created attachment 85893 [details] LibreOffice Writer Template - Open the template in LO 4.x - Take a look at the date-field - Save it as .odt - Realize that you NOW (after saving) have 2 date-fields Best regards fidel
Hi - see the attached template. Best regards fidel
@Cor Nouws Is the issue re-produceable for you using my attached template?
Hi, anyone checked this bugreport? I still can reproduce that on my linux & windows hosts. Can i provide anything else to help fixing that issue? Thanks in advance fidel
ping?
Hi fidel, Sorry for not responding earlier! (just tooo busy) Lucky that I'm triggered by your 'ping (without my name...) I created now document and saved and reopend. In 4.2.3.3 and 4.0.6.2 on Linux. In both cases, I see only one date field. So I cannot reproduce your problem, so cannot shine any light on this. Sorry. I'll post to QA to see if some others can test. Ciao, Cor
Hi all! Just tested on LibO installed from downloaded .deb packages with Italian language. Version: 4.2.4.1 x86_64 Build ID: d4c441391e20647b3d2e8dde4d20aa868e77e515 OS: Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 saucy I can't reproduce the problem. After save, close and reopen I can see only one date field. Marina
@Fidel, *, Verify the behavior, but not a bug. For the posted example_template.ott you simply have the Datum: field value assigned to two date values: Date(fixed) and DocInformation:Modified. Use <ctrl>+F9 to toggle in the template or when saved as a document. Remove one or the other, and you'll have just the one date in the field. Either with Date(fixed)--the fixed date the derived document is created. Or the DocInformation:Modified value--"Inserts the name of the author, and the date, or the time of the last save." Choose either option when editing the template from Insert -> Fields -> Other (or <ctrl>+F2 accelerator) on either the Document or the DocInformation tabs.
hi, thanks for all the input. This explains my issue perfect. Sorry for the trouble. Best regards fidel
