The Border option¹ appear to be useless, given that, when choosing menu Table - Insert Table…, the default is Default Style (with borders).
Not yet reported in bugzilla.
¹ Choosing menu Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Table, below New Table Defaults.
LibreOffice 6.3.6.2 (x86); OS: Windows 6.1
Yeah, some strange behavior.
Default setting:
It would be useful if you wrote a bug.
Please post the link of the bug here. Thank you.
Anyway: Since the StyleFamilyTableStyles once was introduced (good idea?), I would expect that every table has one style applied. If not one is explicitly assigned, this should be Default. Actually the default style for tables still has borders if the global option @ebot pointed to was used to disable borders, and there may have been versions or hidden settings to the effect to apply the Default style to tables newly inserted without an explicit style assignment. To keep a kind of property value like NoStyleAtAll should not be considered a good idea.
I suspect the rather young TableStyle feature to be insufficiently checked for consistency.
But I'm tired of reporting such issues as bugs. They are unavoidable under a policy of unlimited featuritis combined with a concept of compatibility forced upon free software by the strategies of commercial competitors.
Lacking financial power "we" cannot overcome as long as ...
BTW: The API also is treating the so-called table styles inconsistently. On the one hand there was created a new StyleFamily not containing a member "None" or "", but the respective property of any TextTable isn't .Style or similar, but .TableTemplateName, and this is allowed to have the empty string as its value.
How to tidy that up?
[I did not check in what way, if at all, related topics are treated in ODF 1.3 (extended).]
I have the Insert Table icon hidden (Standard toolbar), so I had no tried with it.
Now showed the icon (promptet by @ebot answer), and YES: When Border option is checked, using the icon creates a table with borders, and if Border is unchecked, creates a table without borders.
But always, choosing menu Table - Insert Table… or Ctrl+F12 or clicking Insert Table icon and choosing More options… open the Insert Table dialog with Default Style (which means borders).
So: Will I file a bug? In which terms?
@ebot: See attached.
C:\fakepath\ask259881tableStylesASndBorders_7.0.odt
Concerning the mentioned additional bug: The dfeferred pasting did no longer show when the file once was saved. (Should I have expected this?)
