Hello,
I made a document in OOO. In that doc, I use a variable datePage on each page, in witch I put the date of the page. In the header, I insert the same variable so that the date appears in the header (One style, Differents dates, I couldn’t find another way). I installed LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 and the behaviour is not the same : the variable is not evaluated in the header, so the date value is 0.
Is that a definitive change of behaviour, or will it be implemented again in a new release, or is that just a small bug??
Thanks
Thanks for your advice. By the time I search in LO-bugzilla and I found two bugs about this problem : fdo#61671, the same problem was not solved. fdo#60886, same problem with a correction added to the daily-LO. I tested the daily, and it corrects the bug. So I put a few comments on 61671, marked it as duplicate and changed its status to resolved. Now I wait for next stable version of LO. I forgot to close this question, I’ll try to do it now.
Thanks anyway.
Well, I can’t close the question because of too low reputation…
Hi @cabfred,
Here’s a link to fdo#60886
Your Answer points at the right bug in FDO (bonus: it’s been fixed!), so I think it’s fine to mark your Answer as correct. If you’re not able to do that because of low karma, I’ll be able to do it in a week 
Bug fdo#60886 was fixed for v4.0.2.
Could someone add 4.0.0.3 within the title of this question: old bug, fixed now?
LibreOffice 5.2.0.4 has got the same bug 
Good question! Btw, what file format are you using? ODT? DOC?
I think the answer here is going to come down to whether OOo’s behavior is the correct/only right way to interpret the spec. If there is ambiguity, then LO might not implement the spec in the same fashion.
Please file file a bug and provide a list of steps that can reproduce your problem, as well as including the file in question. The QA team will be happy to help you track down this issue!
