            Bug ID: 123803
           Summary: Add "Available/Supported since version ..." to
                    spreadsheet function help topics
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium

          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Some spreadsheet functions are only available since some specific version of
LibreOffice: e.g., REGEX [1] which only appeared in v.6.2 [2]; or some
Excel-compatibility functions.

For users, it's difficult to see if using a given function would affect
backward compatibility - i.e., if using it would make a spreadsheet unusable
with older versions. The information about that is not easily available, and
requires research.

The proposal is to add notes to relevant help sections, mentioning
"Available/Supported starting from version X" (wording is of course subject to
improving by those who speak a better English than me :-)).
