Ok.  The summary for the bug mentioned "Standard". No other information was
given 
about which format was used for the variable.

Maybe the problem here is "documentation" and not a bug in Writer field
variables?

I agree that it is hard to interpret the meaning of the formats (and I could
not find any documentation for "General" in "Help").

I will add needsUXeval.

Maybe a "tooltip" over some items in the Format list could help (a little).
(plus possible documentation improvements).
