            Bug ID: 119594
           Summary: Implement "Most recent fields inserted"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: olivier.hallot at documentfoundation.org

This is an enhancement request for UX.

Rationale: When inserting the same field in many places in a text document, one
has to open the Insert Field dialog either from the menu or in the main
toolbar.

I'd like to propose a sub menu in the Fields menu or Fields Icon to list the 5
recently used fields, in a similar way as the "recent documents" in the File
menu.

Example of use case: Suppose we have a field which is a reference that contains
the Company name. The same field must be inserted in several pages.

Current process: go to the places where the company name is to be inserted,
choose menu Insert - Fields - More Fields and get the right tab (references),
choose the field and press Insert button. Repeat for the next occurence of the
Company name.

Suggested process: go to the places where the company name is to be inserted,
Choose menu Insert - Fields - More fields - then a list of the last 5 fields
inserted with their format is available in the menu. Pick one of them.

Complementary: Add a "Copy to clipboard" button to copy the reference field
with format to clipboard and let user paste in every place needed in the
document.
