            Bug ID: 143144
           Summary: (wishlist) "Input list" field: Add confirmation dialog
                    in order to prevent lost of data
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.3.0.0 alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: dainius.mazuika at gmail.com

Description:
I usually forget to click "Add" button when editing "Input list" type of field.
Additional check could be implemented in order to warn user about possible loss
of text entered into input field.

Also, "ENTER" keypress could be made to act on "Add" button, instead of "OK"
button of the dialog.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place "Input list" field in the document;
2. Double click on it to open field edit dialog in order to add new items;
3. Pretend you are intending to add only single item (string "YES" as an
example), so:
4. Type in string "YES" inside input field (step no 1);
5. Click "Add" button (step no 2);
6. Click "OK" in main dialog (step no 3);

Usually, I forget to click button "Add" (step no 2), and after typing in "YES"
(step no 1) I click directly on main "OK" button (step no 3) in the dialog.
Whole dialog closes instantly without adding string "YES" to the input list,
and without noticing me that I forgot to click on "Add" button. My previously
entered string "YES" is lost. I need to reopen this dialog and make everything
correctly (frequently - type in long text.. :/ ).

I suggest: Additional checking routine should be executed upon "OK" button
press:

```
ON_OK_BUTTON_PRESS_EVENT
{
 if( inputField.Text != empty )
 {
  if( existing_list.does_not_contain( user_entered_text ) )
  {
    showDialog( "Do you want to add item "%s" into the list before closing? YES
/ NO", user_entered_text );

    if ( user_answer == "YES" )
    {
     AddItemToCurrentList( user_entered_text );
    }
  }
 }
ProceedToClosTheDialogAsUsual();
}
```
