            Bug ID: 132995
           Summary: Feature request: Insert current date dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Word has a nice dialog for inserting the current date/time either as plain text
or a field in various date/time formats:

Currently we don’t have a similar feature, but since it is rather useful, it
would be nice to have a similar feature (possibly with selecting a few
favorites that can be selected from toolbar dropdown button).
The Fields dialog somewhat covers the “Insert as updating date/time field” use
case, but that’s complicated, and there is nothing for the plain text use case.

Use case: When editing public administration paperwork, it is many times needed
to insert $Today date, when the “paperwork” was issued to the citizen. Also it
is often times needed in multiple places of the same document, doing it
"manually" is both repetitive and error-prone.
