@rainerbielefeld: I'm sorry for having let you check this in so many versions!
:(
Now I see why I couldn't reproduce it: I probably copied the content of page 1
where the variables are *defined* and not page 2, where they are *referenced*!
Now I could surround the problem: "Show variable" field whose variable are
*formatted as text* will not preserve their content when pasted in a new
document.
(I'll attach 2 documents)
- Open "master.odm"
- copy the line "Show Variable 123 ABC"
- Edit the sub document "sub.odt"
- Paste in the document
-> you get "Show Variable 123 " (with an empty field which should contain "ABC")
Note: when saving the sub doc and reloading the master document, the line
appears in the master document as "Show Variable 123 0".
So one might think the format has changed to "number" (showing "0") but editing
the variable (from the sub doc inside of the master document) still shows "Text"
as format.
So 2 problems with probably the same root cause:
- Text variables references lose their content when pasted in a new document
while numeric variables references don't
- Such variables are displayed as "number" though the UI (Edit dialog) still
shows "Text"
@rainerbielefeld: Do you see a difference with issue 103160 in which you talk
about this issue? ;) Duplicates?
@OS: Please have a look.
