            Bug ID: 118775
           Summary: Variable in header is 0
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Hello, in LibreOffice (6.0.5.2 x64 Build ID:
54c8cbb85f300ac59db32fe8a675ff7683cd5a16) Writer I set variable (in menu Insert
→ click on Insert fields = or press CTRL+F2 → go to Variables card → go to Set
variable → choose one or in Name write its name → then in the Value field write
its value). Then in page header I show the same variable. Despite the variable
has been set, it is shown as 0.

Five years ago there was a similar question 14092 in LO 4.0.0.3, three years
ago in LO 5.2.0.4 it still wasn’t changed, today in 6.0.5.2 it is still a bug…

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set variable (in menu Insert → click on Insert fields = or press CTRL+F2 →
go to Variables card → go to Set variable → choose one or in Name write its
name → then in the Value field write its value).
2. Then in page header I insert the same variable (CTRL+F2, instead of set
variable, I use: set variable).

Actual Results:
Despite the variable has been set, it is shown as 0.

Expected Results:
The field should show the variable’s value (not 0).


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Yes, the variable is shown AFTER it has been set, inside the document.

Sometimes, because it worked, until it stopped working. I do not know, what
happened, why it doesn’t work any more. Furthermore, it doesn’t work in new
documents, neither.
