Maybe, but then there are two uses within the UI. The actual ODF 1.3 §7.3.6 [1] defines these Text: fields as "Subsequent author fields capture information about second and following authors for a document." Along with those of the §7.3.7 Author name and initials, those details are captured in UI Tools -> Options -> User Data and per document to its File -> Properties. Yet, it seems we don't restrict their use to the exact ODF schema, e.g. bug 105841 or bug 113511 for populating the name fields. See UserProfile.xcs [2] for the content written into ODF. The second would be for the data schema populating the Address Block for the Mail Merge wizard [3]. IIANM we actually don't store/treat such data as ODF §7.3.6 Text. Rather the wizard Address element values are taken from table columns and use text:database-display, text:table-name, text:table-type, text:column-name structure to populate address from the database table space. The wizard currently provides these address elements (localized IIANM): Title (None) First Name Last Name Company Name Address Line 1 Address Line 2 City State Zip Country Telephone private Telephone business Email Address Gender Can be seen that the Wizard could be adjusted to provide an additional field for 'locality' to use in postal addresses where it could be helpful, with no impact or dependence on ODF as they are table content. =-ref-= [1] https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part3-schema/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part3-schema.html#__RefHeading__1415276_253892949 [2] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/UserProfile.xcs [3] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/inc/dbui.hrc Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102998 [Bug 102998] [META] Mail merge bugs and enhancements -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
