Bug ID: 153489
Summary: Changing the "Separator" for Numbering by Caption in
AutoCaption results in that value being applied
subsequently to all existing captions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

test file for convenience
1. Open attachment - or make a Writer Document with a Outline Level 1 Heading
and a Frame that has a caption which uses Numbering by Chapter.
2. Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - AutoCaption
3. Select "LibreOffice Writer Frame", which activates the "Numbering
(Captions) by Chapter" section.
4. Set Level = 1 (or greater)
5. Enter any character(s) for "Separator"
6. OK.
7. Insert a frame.
Actual result: All the existing captions have their separator modified to the
value entered into AutoCaption, after a caption is autoinserted.
Expected result: Only the newly inserted caption uses the new separator,
without changing the existing captions.
Tested with 7.2.7.2
and
Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d466df5bc220eb80b8a51ff64507de881b938ed3
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
According to help [1], AutoCaption: "Specifies the settings for captions that
are automatically added to inserted objects." -- but no indication is given
that the "Separator" setting is applied retrospectively to all existing
captions.
Either a bug or a need to improve documentation.
