Description Jay Philips 2014-11-22 11:17:18 UTC
It would be useful to have a conditional formatting split button which drop down simply shows the entries in the submenu Format > Conditional Formatting, in a similar fashion as we have the insert field (.uno:InsertFieldCtrl) split button pulling from Insert > Fields.
Comment 1 Fabian Alexander Wilms 2014-11-22 11:38:02 UTC
Should the drop down have lc or sc icons? I would prefer lc, since they are clearer and the line spacing drop down uses them too.
Comment 2 Jay Philips 2014-11-22 18:15:12 UTC
All the drop downs we currently have use sc icons, so it would have to stay that way for consistency. :D

Valid enhancement. Please provide also shortcuts to often used conditions, see attachment where are printscreens from excel.

In order to achieve this, firstly we'd need some good style presets for use by conditional formatting: condition. If anyone has ideas about a good set of style presets outside of the ones that come in Calc, please do post your ideas at < https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/boards/1/topics/493 >.

For the others, we'd need new uno commands which have those presets set.

And finally, we'd need icons for the various presets.

I'm all for this, but shouldn't someone file seperate bug report for the presets?

If you were referring to the defined style presets, those need to be created first in order for them to be used, which is what the redmine link will hopefully be able to accomplish. If you were referring to the uno commands with presets, that would likely need another bug report, as this one is just attempting to get the linkup between the menu drop down and the toolbar button drop down.
