            Bug ID: 132223
           Summary: failure to update master/slave link when no changes
                    made to that specific property but editing other
                    sub-form details...
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.5.2 release
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Base
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: trowelandmattock at yahoo.co.uk

In a form with sub-forms (and sub-sub-forms) cascading through one table (ie to
select sub-sets of that table)& where hierarchy relationships have been edited
by cut/paste of sub-form/sub-sub-form >>
>>> the master-slave link names of a sub-form is unchanged in properties, but do not seem to be applied until the those link fields are manually edited (ie with the same data) again. ....


This is a problem because it is not transparent and no obvious to troubleshoot.
(e.g. "why after making some relationship edits my form/sub-forms do some
sub-form master-slave links not work, even though I HAVE NOT CHANGED DATA IN
THE MASTER_LINK PROPERTY ??")

It would be better (for example) that the master-slave link was voided/made
empty, rather retaining apparent data that is not actually being applied ...
that way a user would know to remake that slave-master link.
