[Bug 986880] Re: [Upstream] field length inherited

 

Bug #1016603 seems to be a potential duplicate, although in that bug I
wrote a longer description of why this behavious is flawed and how it
should be fixed in my opinion. Feel free to mark it as a duplicate.

Title:
  [Upstream] field length inherited

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I define a table field in LbreOfficeBase I notice that the
  following field types NUMERIC, DECIMAL, FLOAT, VARCHAR,
  VARCHAR_IGNORECASE, inherit the latest set length, that is: when I add
  a field it is set to VARCHAR (100), if I change it to FLOAT its length
  is automatically set to 17, if I come back to VARCHAR, the field
  length is not set back to 100, but still remains 17.
