The Writer Guide documentation says I can use my own custom document property instead of a variable in a condition statement.
----- DocInformation fields “Using document properties to hold metadata and information that changes” on page 363 described how to set up a custom document property. You can use that document property as the variable in your condition statement, or you can create another document property field specifically for conditions. ----- (Chapter 14 "Working with Fields" of Writer Guide, page 377 in PDF) How? When I type the name of the property, in a "Conditional text" function in the Insert Fields Other dialog, I always get the first phrase, never the second. So it seems my conditional test is being ignored or incorrectly always returning True. After seeing "DocInformation:" displayed when I choose View > Field Names, I tried prepending that to my property name in my Conditional text function, like this: DocInformation:MyDocumentPropertyNameHere But that did not help. I always see the first phrase of the conditional text. I get success when using a variable. Is there some trick to accessing a Document Property in a function? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Custom-document-property-in-a-condition-statement-How-tp3805319p3805319.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
