            Bug ID: 132104
           Summary: Calc lacks several fiels available in Writer
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: Spampot at gmx.net

Description:
Writer offers far more fields under "Insert\Field" than Calc does.
For example, you can easily insert the document's last modification date and
time as fields in Writer, and these fields will automatically update themselves
each time the document is saved:

Insert\Field\More Fields...
Tab: "DocInformation"
Type: Modified
Select: Time, Date

While such a functionality is very useful and comfortable, there is no
equivalent in Calc, neither as fields nor as spreadsheet functions.

I'd generally suggest to offer ALL applicable fields for ALL apps and ALL
document types (unless a certain field doesn't make sense for a certain
document type).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Calc
2. While editing a cell value, click "Insert\Field"

Actual Results:
As of Calc 6.4.2, only "Date", "Sheet Name", and "Document Title" are
available.

Expected Results:
I'd love to have as much as Writer's field as make sense; especially the
document's last modification date and time.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Maybe Calc could/should also offer the information via spreadsheet functions
(in addition to fields)?
