Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 100658
Unable to modify file custom properties
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:42:03 UTC
Menu File -> Properties -> Custom Properties I added "CustomText" field from prior version of OpenOffice (Ooo3) but this field is unable to modify in the Ooo310m7 now. In order to modify this field, it required to delete all the field from the document then it will allow to be modify in the "File" -> "Properties"
Created attachment 61266 [details] See Document number file properties
Cannot reproduce on WinXP 310m7. The field can be directly modified. Are you sure your file is not read-only? Did you press F9 to update the field after modification?
Q: Are you sure your file is not read-only? A: The file is not read-only Q: Did you press F9 to update the field after modification? A: Yes pressed F9. Further information: Try the following steps 1. new writer document odt 2. File -> Properties -> Custom Properties -> Add "Document Number" and type "0.1" 3. Insert the "Document Number" field to the document 4. Modify the custom field in the File -> Properties -> Custom Properties ... type "0.2" 5. then you should find the value unable to update It seems only affect the newly added field. If document save and re-open again, it will not this problem.
Lowered priority and target because creating, inserting and modyfing a custom field *without* saving a document is not a common practice.
This is a new feature and it should work. Target changed to 3.2, Prio changed to P3. Reassigned to mst ->mst: I cannot even change the value of the custom property in a DEV300m41, Win. I have to remove and re-insert the property. The field in the document should be notified of changes/removal of the property.

nominated this one as showstopper for 3.2 wrt comment es (#5): after the document has been saved/opened few times, the field cannot be updated at all. This is the same as in my duplicate issue 105276.
adjusted target
due to popular demand, now also fixed in CWS sw32bf07 (revision 277494).
