Bug ID: 160096
Summary: Validity list as suggestion box?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
There has been an important fix recently
(https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159595):
> Validity = List with A,B
>
> Entering C gives a warning and empties the input.
>
> But if the option "Show error message..." under
> Error Alert is off, the value is accepted anyway
> and validation fails.
Users like me (I hope I'm not the only one) have "used" this bug as if it was a
feature in order to achieve a sort of "suggestion dropdown" (like a helper: you
can chose a predefined value or enter yours), which can be a very powerful
tool.
Now this bug is resolved, I'd like a proper way to allow users to enter their
own value if the ones proposed in the dropdown are not suitable.
It could be achieved with a new option in data validity ("allow users to enter
a custom value"), or with a new kind of dropdown aside data validity (like
"suggestion list").
