            Bug ID: 162424
           Summary: Ability to assign tracked change to different author
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Sometimes, you want to keep some comment in a document, but have it show as
your own comment; or even - as a comment by a third party. Other times, you
want to edit a comment - but if you do, it still appears as somebody else's,
while you likely want to make it your own.

This is already "possible" today, in a crooked way:

* Change your user details to the desired change author details
* Copy the comment contents
* Delete the comment
* Insert a new comment as "yourself"
* Paste the comment contents
* Change your user details back

but this is silly. Instead, we should be able to change the comment author
directly:

1. Via the context menu(s) of a comment
2. (Perhaps) when inserting a comment, with an "Insert comment as..." command
3. (Perhaps) via some mechanism to switch all comments by a certain author to
be by a different author.
