Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78944
changing "data labels" for a loaded pie at once does not work
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:18:53 UTC
Steps to reproduce: - open the attached document - double click on the chart for editing the chart - right click on the colored diagramm, "object properties...", "data labels" - disable "show value" or change it to "as number": this changes won't have any effect! Tested on openSUSE 10.2 with ooo-dev2.3 (m217), but also with StarOffice 8 (there: chose in the main menu "Insert"->"Data label") and OOo 2.2.0 (2.2.0 on openSUSE 10.2 and also on Windows XP) (so it is a bug of the old _and_ of the new chart implementation).
Created attachment 46298 [details] bug.odt
confirmed for this bugdoc. With an new created Chart its work fine. Also its possible to disable the Data label for each single Data Point. Maybe a prob. with the chart in a Frame? @IHA: pls have a look.
>> With an new created Chart its work fine. That's right. The chart comes from a longer text I've written. I've created the chart and could easily change the options for the labels. When finished the text a week later, I wanted to change the chart labels from percent-values to numbers and it didn't worked any longer. As there is a whole week where I didn't touched the chart, but only the text, I don't know when exactly occured the problem. >> Maybe a prob. with the chart in a Frame? I've tried out how it works when putting the chart directly on the page (and deleted the sourrounding frame). It stays the same problem (tested with StarOffice 8 update 6 on openSUSE 10.2).
accepted When saving and reloading the behavior changes because on save each data point in a pie gets it's own color and is an attributed point then. We have this old problem, that changing the series attributes does not have an effect, for attributed data points. As a workaround you can set each data label for each point. That's not nice, but possible at least.
Fixed in CWS chart07 as follows: You can now use the "Data Labels" dialog (Menu Insert->Data Labels...) to change all data labels at once - even those labels that was set for a single point will be changed accordingly. Hm strange, I tried again and couldn't reproduce that saving and reloading does change the behavior. Can it be that you changed the single pie segments separately? In the current feature set it is correct that changing the series properties does not overwrite single point properties. Thus when you change each single point of the pie separately you will not see any effect when changing the according series property. This is not special for data labels but applies to all properties.
The problem also is present when you don't change the individual labels. I think the problem occures when you've changed the diagram type befor. Steps to reproduce: - start StarOffice 8 (SP 6) - file -> new -> text document - insert -> object -> diagram - in the appearing dialog click on "terminate" (?)(in german: "fertig stellen") - double-click on the diagram for editing it - format -> diagram type - stay with 2d, change type to circle, stay in variant "normal" and click on okay - insert -> data labels - check the checkbox "show value" and leave the radio button at "as number", then click on okay - close StarOffice. You will be asked if you want to save the document. Save it. - open StarOffice - file -> recently used -> "your document" - double-click on the diagram - insert -> data label - change the radio button from "as number" to "as percent" - this doesn't has any effect! (PS: For the next 2 weeks I'm in vacations and can't respond.)
Ah, thanks. Also this scenario is solved now when using the new Office Version containing this fix.
Thomas, please verify in CWS chart07.
seen ok -> verified
verified fixed in m230, closing.
