Bug ID: 169129
Summary: Feature to switch between footnotes/endnotes does not
change style
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The enhancement to allow for changing between footnotes and endnotes was
addressed in bug 89352 and a great advance it was!
However, when you change (e.g.) foot -> end, the *STYLE* does not change.
Writer still thinks the endnotes are footnotes, and there's no easy way I can
see to convince it otherwise. So, you need to adjust the FOOTNOTE style in
order to tweak the way your ENDNOTES look.
This didn't happen with the "manual" method:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-convert-all-footnotes-to-endnotes-and-vice-versa/1587/12?u=dajare
I don't think it should happen with the automated method, either.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the dialog to convert footnote/endnote.
2. Attempt to modify the style of the "new" format.
3. But the style is still the "old" format, and the "new" format cannot be
modified.
Actual Results:
The new format is visible, but the notes are still in the "old" style.
Expected Results:
Expect the conversion to also change the style.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
It is reported in the earlier bug that a patch that changes the style to match
the type is here:
