Bug ID: 148922
Summary: Allow to make non-conditional style conditional, and
show Condition tab permanently
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium

In bug 82802, conditional style was practically defined as having some
conditions set (so removing all [context->style] mappings makes a previously
conditional style not conditional). This also establishes that the style *can*
change the "conditional" property during its lifetime, despite documentation
claims otherwise [1] :
> Once defined, you cannot change the conditional properties of a conditional
> style.
The original issue with the mentioned bug 82802 was, though, the very fact that
after you remove all mappings from a previously conditional style, you can't
later add new mappings - so you can't convert a non-conditional style into
conditional one.
I suggest to resolve *that* original problem simply by enabling the Condition
tab permanently, not only for newly-created styles and styles already having
conditions.
Regina: could you please confirm that from the ODF point of view, the
equivalence between "style having context->style mappings" and "conditional
style" is correct, i.e. that ODF doesn't allow to have a conditional style
without at least one defined mapping? If ODF technically allows to have such
"empty" conditional styles, then the solution to bug 82802 would need to be
changed.
