Bug ID: 155316
Summary: Function Wizard should remember the Category field
selection from its prior use, at least per session
(RFE)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Background info:
When using the Search field of the function Wizard, the Category immediately
changes to "All".
On non-empty cells that already contain a formula, the default Category of the
Function Wizard depends on the category of the first function used in the
formula in that cell.
As of LO 7.4 (and 7.5), the behavior of the F.W on a cell that has no formula
yet, regarding its Category field, is to always start with the Category "All"
selected by default when starting the F.W.
After the RFE in bug 104487, the behavior was slightly modified. On a cell that
has no function (i.e. empty, direct values, or with simple operators), the
default Category when opening the F.W. would be the same as the category of the
_main_ function that was last _seen_ in the F.W.
My request/suggestion is that when opening the F.W. on cells that don't have
yet at least one function (of the list of functions in the F.W.), then the
default Category would be the same that was left set in that Category field the
last time the F.W. was used (at least for that session).
This should also be the behavior (on cells with that conditions) when that
prior Category was "All", or when that Category was "Last Used". Currently,
after the resolution of bug 104487, this is not the case.
The behavior when opening the F.W. on a cell that already has at least one
function should not change. The behavior of the Category field when typing on
the Search field should also be maintained.
This proposal would effectively improve the efficiency of the "Last Used"
Category (and of "All"), without disrupting other use-cases. Additional details
were discussed in bug 104487.
