Bug ID: 116019
Summary: the About Fields online help for F9 seems wrong for
Placeholder fields.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: i...@skierpage.com
CC: olivier.hal...@documentfoundation.org
(I'm still trying to understand the placeholders in LibreOffice Writer's Modern
business letter serif template.)
The online help About Fields
https://help.libreoffice.org/5.4/en-US/text/swriter/guide/fields.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN
says "To update all of the fields in a document, press F9, or choose Edit -
Select All, and then press F9."
However, nothing happens when you do this. Maybe this information doesn't apply
to Placeholder fields. It does update e.g. Insert > Fields > Document > Sender
> Street if I change my address details in Tools > Options > Libre Office >
User Data
I think placeholder fields do less than other fields, so the documentation
should be clearer about this, explaining separately what they do and mentioning
here that they don't update.
