Bug ID: 120603
Summary: Misleading error messages resulting from fixes for
#120353
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It seems Base forms were not properly respecting the 'Input Required' setting
on forms. This was corrected in 6.1.3 (and later).
The result of this is that if a database field is defined as optional, but the
corresponding form field is marked 'input required', the user is given an error
message stating:
"Error writing to the database"
"Input required in field 'xyz'. Please enter a value".
This implies there's a database problem, when there isn't. There's a form
problem.
This might not matter much in normal situations, but given the change
(correction) in the behaviour of Base, I believe many will be seriously misled
by this. The fix can potentially affect hundreds of fields in many, many
forms, and can be a lot of work to adjust to. A misleading error message will
cause problems, and probably more duplicate issue reports raised unnecessarily.
