--- Comment #9 from Jessa <[email protected]> --- I wanted to make my description a little more clear. 1. Looks like there is a similar bug to this https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3070 2. I was able to replicate the issue just as the well defined steps in the attachment, thank you. 3. I believe this is a design flaw but working as expected since I could not find any requirement other than the below that says "Inserts a custom global variable. You can use the User Field to define a variable for a condition statement. When you change a User Field, all instances of the variable in the document are updated." note: I have got the description from open office write help on user variables. <see the attachment> 4. I tested similar functionality in Microsoft word 2016 you can either use Docvariable or Docproperty under Quick part (fields or docProperty) to add user variables. The advantage of this is the user error can be reduced when the user variable list gets rather large in the Variables -> Selection. Lets say you have 1000s of user variables and if the document is being shared by more than one person its difficult to keep track of all the user variables already entered. Having similar function as DocVariable where you enter lets say "Open W" the system will complete the word for you or have similar function like docProperty where you can enter values to fixed user variables would be good. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
