By using the wizard, the "Insert Address Block" step, there is an error in selecting a database created with the help of the wizard. It is observed that the field called "table" wizard does not store the value, and therefore the accept button is not activated.
Al usar el wizard, en el paso "Insertar Bloque de direcciones", existe un error al seleccionar una base de datos creada con la ayuda de el wizard. Se observa que el campo llamado "tabla" del wizard no almacena valor, y por tanto el botón de aceptar no se activa.
Confirmed on LO 4322 OSX Yosemite How to reproduce : 1) Download ODT and ODB files. Open both in LO. 2) In Writer document, remove all previously inserted fields. 3) Insert > Field > Other > Database 4) Insert Field1 into Writer document, press space key 5) Insdert Field2 into Writer document, press return key 6) Press F4 key, select any tuple greater than the first one, e.g. the second tuple 7) Click on the "Data to Fields" icon 8) See how only data from first record gets inserted What should happen : selected tuple data should be inserted. Reproduced also in Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: d807cba9ee60cb1404b54addf9cd3e54de89f331 Jan-Marek/Lubos: seeing branches like "private/jmux/mailmerge-fixes", "private/llunak/mailmerge_01", I thought you might be interested in this one. Note that if you drag and drop the field headers from the data source browser instead of using Insert > Field, the selected tuple is inserted correctly I see the problem in 3672 as well When I follow Alex's instructions, the fields just end up empty (or just a space?), whether I take the first or any other record, and whether I use the drag-and-drop method or insert / field. master (4.4.0.alpha) build of 26 sep 2014. (In reply to Alex Thurgood from comment #11) > Note that if you drag and drop the field headers from the data source > browser instead of using Insert > Field, the selected tuple is inserted > correctly It is inserted as text, not as field Screen capturing available by following link: http://youtu.be/-MAFQkGS3eI Adding self to CC if not already on |
