            Bug ID: 125082
           Summary: Format / Paragraph Insert with page number: Not saved
                    if set to 0
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

There is a need to set Page Number to zero when using Left Page / Right Page
page layout.

Traditionally, the Right page of a document starts on Page 1. The Left page
cannot be numbered as 1; it must be even.

Thus entering a new section with Left/Right pages defined means that, to get
Page 1 as the right-hand page, the left page must be numbered as the prior even
number i.e. zero.

This may be done at a Paragraph level:

select some text on the left page
Format / Paragraph / Text Flow / Breaks Insert. Tick Page Number and set to
zero.

This succeeds in making the left page 0 and the right page is Page 1.

However, there seems to be Save validation prohibiting saving page numbers
below 1; the page number setting is discarded.

Editing the data within the .odt file to zero will open the doc with Page
Number of 0 on the left as wanted, so this is a Save validation check.

As is, on each reopening of the document the left page number set as zero is
found discarded and resetting the page to be zero must be repeated.

This was performed in a Master file, but is likely for other Writer file types.


Can validation rule be removed or zero allowed?

Thanks
