            Bug ID: 142704
           Summary: what is %PRODUCTNAME?
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: j22...@gmail.com

Description:
When using Track Changes in Writer, I want to have my own color. This means,
when I add text I need it to show in a given color. BUT, when another reviewers
makes changes, I want it to be a different color.
There is a set of options for this in Options->LibreOffice Writer->Changes
When I hover the cursor over the options (see image below) I see the message
"...When you choose the condition "By author" in the list, the color is
automatically determined by %PRODUCTNAME, then modified to match to the author
of each change"

1) So I want to explore this a bit more, what is (and where can I read about)
the paramter called '%PRODUCTNAME'?

2) is there a way to set eg RED for myself and "automatic" for the rest of the
reviewers?

Thanks for this amazing software!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a writer document with any text
2. activate the track changes option
3. make a change in the document (eg insert any word)
4. you'll see with a given (automatic color)
5. but that color in particular is not convenient (for whatever reason -in my
case it is very close my document background color) so you need to have another
color assigned to you, while keeping the "different authors different color"
idea

Actual Results:
You can only choose between color "by author" (ie a color for each user who
makes changes in the document) or one color for (all) any author (ie if you
choose RED then changes by ANY user will always have the same chosen color, eg.
RED)

Expected Results:
I would like to chose a color for my current user (myself) but still have the
changes made by other in different colors (one color per user). So the idea
would be "one color per user, but please let me chose my user's color".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
