<pre>Description:
The built-in QR-Code Generator ultimately only allows for input within its own
pop-up configuration box. (While it can be superimposed on existing text, it
replaces this text and subsequently allows for edits only within its own UI.)
Please add functionality that will allow for referencing a spreadsheet cell or
a textbox or a label or some other persistent text-laden entity.
A good start would be a reference to a spreadsheet cell. This would allow for a
QR-Code to result from a formula calculation in the referenced cell.
In combination with allowing for multi-line input (see <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Accept texts with multiple line in the QR Code Generator"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=128718">bug 128718</a>) it would
allow for automated generation of bank transfer QR-Codes in invoices.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Menu -> Insert -> Object -> QR-Code
2. Pop-up UI for QR-Code Generator opens
Actual Results:
UI only allows for direct input in text field.
Expected Results:
If no object (potentially) containing text is selected before the insert:
Toggle (e.g. Radio buttons) for choice between direct input and reference
initially set to direct input. When toggled, allow for selecting a cell/textbox
or similar object that will supply the input.
If an appropriate object is selected before insert, the toggle should initially
be set to reference and have the object linked (read-write) and its contents
displayed (read-only).
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
The UI for referencing might be modeled from parts of the existing UI for Pivot
tables, but limited to only one referenced object.</pre>
