That requirement extends to controls to be able to fetch and allow writing to any given table bound to the form. For example, in the online help : <a href="https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/he/text/shared/explorer/database/tablewizard03.html">https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/he/text/shared/explorer/database/tablewizard03.html</a> "For some database systems within LibreOffice, a primary key is mandatory for editing the tables." Also the FAQ: <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/009">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/009</a> and even the older OpenOffice.org forum documentation : <a href="https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26448">https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26448</a> So I'm not really certain that this is an enhancement request that would even be accepted. Personally, I think it would be a useful addition to the UI experience, but the functionality you are requesting would require quite a lot of developer effort.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
