--- Comment #6 from Edmund Laugasson <edmund.laugasson at protonmail.ch> ---
OK, Navigator is really better than list in editing field dialog. But when
opening field editing via Navigator, the button Edit is greyed out in that
field editing dialog. I can change only field window title but not content. I
assume that edit button should allow to edit also field content. Then I have
directly in text open the field dialog box in order to change the content -
this is actually already fulfilling field.

Would be more logical, when opening field editing via Navigator, there is truly
all field elements possible to edit. Certainly editing field opens always same
field editing dialog, where that Edit button is greyed out.

Anyway, to come back to initial issue, I proposed design ideas. At the end of
page 3 there is a design idea, which corresponds to current bug report most. I
understand, that in Navigator we see fields but opening its editing should
offer to edit all field elements as proposed at the end of page 3 in attached
PDF-file. Showing fields in navigator does not solve field editing issues we
currently have.

To precisely correspond to current bug report topic, there could be separate
shortcut key to continue fulfilling fields, where it left off last time. This
means that Writer should determine, whether field is fulfilled or not.
Currently it is misleading, that editing example text in field goes via opening
field for fulfilling.

If there could be distinguish editing and fulfilling field, also continuing
fulfilling fields could be solved. Try to imagine a situation where you have
lots of fields in same document. Then continuing to fulfill those fields on
next time is painful as there is no indication, where fulfilling were left off. 

The easiest solution could be shortcut key but certainly there should be at
least one way to continue without knowing that shortcut key. E.g. in Navigator
there could be so, that already fulfilled fields are normal but not yet
fullfilled are with bold font. 

There would be expected also under mouse right click menu a choice "Mark not
filled" - this is necessary to mark certain fields not filled again, e.g.
despite fulfilling field, user decides this should be fulfillable again.
Certainly also bulk marking should be possible, e.g. marking all or certain
fields via Navigator and change unfilled them. This means Navigator should
allow to select more than one field - currently Navigator does not allow that.

Marking a field unfilled should pertain its content. Unless in editing dialog
the content is changed but filled status is not touched.

When opening fields in Navigator, there should be near fields category a small
button, which allows to continue fulfilling fields where it were left off.
