Hi,
I’m using LibreOffice 7.4.1.2 on Windows 11.
I create a List Box and add list entries and it works great. I can close and open the Writer document and still works as intended.
Although, if I toggle Design Mode back on, it wipes the List Box entries and I have to add them back in again.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?
Thank-you for your help !

Hello,
.
Can you please explain how you enter the entries in the list box? Also, are you certain this is a list box and not a combo box?
Thank-you for your reply !
Yes this is a list box. I double click the list box control, and this opens the list box properties window which contains a section for List entries. I click the Multiline Editing drop down arrow and then enter the list there.
In my continued efforts, I deleted the list box and created another one which, for some reason, is working properly. It doesn’t help me understand what went wrong, but it allows me to move past the problem.

I may know the issue. I just spent an hour with the same issue.
The visible list is on the first tab “General” under “List Entries” where as the “data” tab has a similar field “List contents”.
With only 5 setting on the Data tab you see it immediately when you click “Data”. it feels like that’s where we just put the data, but I’m guessing that is just the data assigned for each option when submitting to a database, website, or other interactive/data processing source.
Conclusion, the text that appears in the pull down box is under the “General” tab. “List Entries” is the 15th setting under that tab so its kinda hidden.
The “Data” tab is for database connections. The list on tab “General” has no data source. It offers whatever you enter into that list.
