Bug ID: 164939
Summary: States of document-template link and document
properties "Apply user data" correlate
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The link document-to-template doesn't work if template properties settings have
"Apply user data" disabled. The link-not-functional is perceived by the lack of
prompt on document reload. This way user has no chance to confirm the take-over
of modifications made in template. In result modifications made in template do
not have no chance to propagate to document derived from template.
Steps to Reproduce:
*Create a template
*Template major purpose is to carry styles, one blank paragraph on one single
page in template should suffice
*Derive a document (or a number of) from template
*Add content to document (can be a series of this step)
*Do in document Save (button Save on toolbar, toolbar layout Writer default)
*At arbitrary point of time - do it not before deriving document from template
(I didn't test the opposite case) - disable "Apply user data" in template
properties
*Modify paragraph style Heading 1 (Heading 1 is used in document, modification
of one single attribute of style should suffice)
*Have one more cycle of style modification in template followed by syncing
document to template
*The point in sequence got achieved where document reload/reopening is not
accompanied by the prompt “linked template has been modified, do you like to
take over made modifications?” - this is my own paraphrasing of prompt message
*Enable “Apply user data”
*Have one more cycle of style modification and document sync-up
*This time the prompt should again be popping up
Actual Results:
The link document-to-template doesn't work if template properties settings have
"Apply user data" disabled.
Expected Results:
Correlation described never to be observed.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No

User profile reset not conducted as it is unclear for me what are the overall
reset costs in nature, which artifacts get lost, which need a creation from
scratch, which ones are not possible to recreate, what these cost mean for my
current writing in its current phase.
