Subject: LibreOffice-writer: conditional text based on database fields doesn't appear to work

Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2012 11:45:59 -0400

Package: LibreOffice-writer
Version: 1:3.5.4-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I have created a certificate that I need to fill in details based on 
information contained in a data file. I created the .odb file to point 
to the actual file and that is working. It will fill in field values 
properly. However, when I try any kind of conditional insert, such as 
translating "M" or "F" to "male" or "female", or hiding text if a field 
value is null, it fails.

For example, I have a conditional text function, where the function is:

Results.RESULTS.GENDER == "F"

The then part is:

female

and the else part is:

male

This always inserts "female".

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or 
ineffective)?
I've tried various ways to insert the conditional text, such as using 
hidden text instead of conditional text, testing for null instead of 
particular values, etc.. I've used brackets around names. I've ensured 
that the names match in a case sensitive fashion.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I just can't get it to work.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Conditional text should be easy and intuitive. I admit to the 
possibility that I'm doing something wrong, but if I am, no one in the 
forums I've submitted this problem to has offered any suggestion as to 
what it may be. The help and online documentation don't provide any 
clues either. Either it's broken or it operates in a really unintuitive 
manner
