Bug ID: 154427
Summary: Conditional-text field is empty when exporting a
document as EPUB
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I have a large document that contains many conditional-text fields.
I need to export the document as EPUB.
Exporting as PDF works perfectly, but when exporting as EPUB, all of the
conditional-text fields are empty.
Note: I don't expect the EPUB to contain dynamic fields; it's OK to export the
currently-displayed text as fixed text, exactly as exporting to PDF does.
I export using the menu File > Export As > Export as EPUB.
I shall add two attachments to this bug report:
• Sample document in LibreOffice
• The resulting EPUB
How do I fix this so that the conditional text is exported to the EPUB, please?
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with at least one conditional-text field. You can use the
sample document that is linked in the OP.
2. Set the condition so that text is displayed in the field, i.e. the
conditional-text field isn't empty.
3. (Optional) File > Export As > Export as PDF
4. File > Export As > Export as EPUB
Actual Results:
The EPUB file leaves the conditional-text field empty. Looking at the XML file
inside the EPUB file, there is no text there; only redundant formatting
instructions remain.
Expected Results:
The EPUB file should have contained the conditional text, exactly as an export
to PDF does. (You can see this from the PDF file from the optional step 3
above.)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
