            Bug ID: 114085
           Summary: Allow to set page break's page number, without also
                    setting page style.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

When one wants to define a new page number for a page starting with this
paragraph, one creates a page break and needs to define "With page style", and
only then can enter the new number.

This makes it difficult later to change page style of contiguous run of pages
that should share common page style, but have some page breaks with page
numbers. Each such break starts new pages run that must be processed
individually when assigning a new page style in this case.

After commit d36fa0589ab822dc617c65b4d0d3bf68c092ad37 and commit
c1e7fc6f497d7570cb0832c43647d295f8592567 (see bug 77111), the page number has
its own checkbox. I suppose that now it would be possible to remove this
entry's dependency on "With page style" setting.

The page number is defined in paragraph style like this:

> <style:style style:name="P2" style:family="paragraph" style:parent-style-name="Standard" style:master-page-name="Standard">
>     <style:paragraph-properties style:page-number="6" fo:break-before="page"/>
> </style:style>

The style:page-number attribute of style:paragraph-properties seems to not
depend on style:master-page-name attribute of style:style. Still, removing the
style:master-page-name also disables loading the number form modified file.

So, the suggestion is to disentangle the page number feature from "With page
style" option; is that something permitted by standard?
