Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49944
date/time/pattern/currency fields cannot be linked to spreadsheet cells currently
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:41:08 UTC
The Date Field, Time Field, Pattern Field and the Currency Field Form Controls are missing the Linked Cell property under the Data Tab. (SEE the Text Box Form Control for an Example)
This was never part of the feature specification (http://specs.openoffice.org/calc/compatibility/linkedcontrols.sxw). Workaround: Use a Formatted field. Assigning to requirements account for evaluation, according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd.
