Summary: Writer: content control's value to be used as a
variable in fields, conditions and formulas
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 27.2.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All

like-in-word/106126
OS: All

Content controls can be filled interactively, but their value cannot be reused.
Request: give a named content control a value readable by the field/expression
engine, so Insert ▸ Field can display it and SwCalc conditions can test it.
I assume that checkbox should evaluate numerically (1/0), update on leaving a
control, variable computes on demand,
TBD: Which name identifies the variable? w:alias and w:tag are not uniquew:id
is unique but not user-facing. So have a rule (first match) or add "variable
name" property.
Note: Current workaround is a form-control checkbox with a Basic macro on Item
status changed writing to a User Field, which requires macro security to be
relaxed and has issue with DOCX.
