Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6428
Change format of prompt text in Input field Edit dialog box
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
For text documents containing Input fields (Insert > Fields > Other > Functions tab > Input field): When the user clicks on an Input field in a text document and the Edit dialog box appears, the Reference text or Prompt text appears in the upper white edit field and looks like it can be edited. It would be better if it appeared on a plain gray field as a regular label, or grayed-out in a white field, so the user knows that the only editable area is the input text box below.
Reassigned to Christian.
Reassiged to Bettina.
Summary: The upper box in the 'Edit Field' dialog seems to be editable, if no reference-text was entered before, although it is not intended as an Input-Field in that dialog. This needs to be changed by adding e.g. other fixtext then 'Edit' in that dialog or another display of the field. As dialog changes are not defined keyfeatures for OO.o 2.0, this one is considered for 'Office later'.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
