Insert document reference fields

Desktop editors
1

Hello,

I wonder how to insert the updateable fields like document title, file name without extension…

This feature is available in LibreOffice in the menu Insert > Fields > Other fields

I searched everywhere in Desktop Editors and on the forums, but I found nothing.

Best,

Cedric

hi @Cedric

Doesn’t this pertain to References Tab → cross-reference?

Unfortunately not… Via the reference tab/cross reference, there is no opportunity to insert the filename (for example), or the date, or the page number… (May be it is possible, but I cannot find how…)

It seems I’ve got it. I need to check with my colleagues whether the format (OOXML) allows for this implementation.

We have logged an enhancement suggestion to add the ability to include additional fields (Insert > Fields > Other fields). :handshake:

Hey @sosfc
Added you to the implementation request!

I need this feature too, particularly the TITLE field.

I have a lot of existing documents that use this field to automatically display the title of the document in places like beginning of the first page, header and footer, etc.

If I change the Title in the Document Info screen, and try to update the field, I get the error “Error! Reference source not found.”
