            Bug ID: 134165
           Summary: [EDITING] Allow editing of fields
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: luke.kendall at gmail.com

Sample document

The name of the function "Edit fields" and the sketchy help pages (like
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-GB/text/swriter/01/04090300.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=UNIX)
implies you should be able to edit a field you have inserted.

You can't: you can't change the text definition and you can't change the name
of the variable.

Clicking on a variable in the Select pane of the Edit Fields panel doesn't let
you change its Name.

Also, if you copy a field from one Writer document into another document, you
can't even change the Value.

See attached document.

Thanks.
