Bug ID: 91837
Summary: Inconsistent error messages when failing to input
required fields
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.3.2 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
To reproduce the problem :-
Step 1. Create table TestTable with 3 fields:-
Field Name Field Type AutoValue Entry Required
Key Integer Yes -
A Text - Yes
B Text - No
Step 2. Create form TestForm from all fields in TestTable with arrangement
“Columnar – Labels Left”.
Step 3. Edit the form so that “Input Required” for field B is “No”, but leave
“Input Required” for both other fields as “Yes”.
Step 4. Use the form to try to enter data for a new record but only enter text
into field B. When attempting to save the record, this results in a message
saying :-
Error writing data to database
Input required in field ‘A’. Please enter a value.
Step 5. Select “OK”, enter text into field A, then attempt to save the record
again – this will succeed.
Step 6. Without dismissing the form, select the “New Record” icon to redisplay
a blank form.
Repeat step 4. This time, attempting to save the record results in a different
message saying :-
Error inserting the new record
Attempt to insert null into a non-nullable column: column: A table: TestTable
in statement [INSERT INTO “TestTable” (“B”) VALUES (?)]
The second error message is inconsistent with the first error message.
Repeating the first error message would be far more user-friendly.
