            Bug ID: 114335
           Summary: Solution to field format nightmare
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1 all versions
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: john.bester at softco.co.za

Description:
Every time you insert a field (e.g. Date), the format defaults to the top
format in the list - which is extremely irritating. I have a possible solution
to this - see additional info.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open writer and select Insert / Field / More Fields ...
2. Under Document tab, select an entry such as "Date".

Actual Results:  
The first format in the list is the default when a field is created.

Expected Results:
The user should be able to select a default format for each type of field to be
inserted. Also, these defaults should be defaulted to whatever the active
locale suggests where possible.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Follow steps to reproduce. Select "Date" in the leftmost column as an example.
You will see a list of possible formats in the rightmost column.
It would be absolutely great if you could select a specific format and then
press a "Set as default" button below the list of formats. The next time a
field of this type is added to the document, use this selected format when the
field is inserted into the document. Obviously the user will still be able to
change it.
