MmmMaarten Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 There are some issues with using automated fields in text: - After loading a file, page number fields in the open page show as a hashtag (#) instead of the actual value. Only after refreshing the page by clicking around it gets its actual value. - In the master pages for some reason the Total Pages field is shown as a value (the actual page count), but the Page Number field is showing a hashtag symbol (#) instead of its value. To me that seems inconsistent and gives me the impression as a user this part of the software is not stable yet. I would expect both fields to show their values or both fields to show some symbol representing them, but not both using a different method. See video below and file in attachment.

Staff Pauls Posted May 14, 2020 Staff Posted May 14, 2020 Do you have the master page selected at the start? MmmMaarten 1 Quote

Looks normal, a Master page has no physical page number MmmMaarten 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
MmmMaarten Posted May 15, 2020 Author Posted May 15, 2020 @Pauls @carl123 You are right, my bad. After opening the file again I saw a master page had been selected during save causing the master page to open up with a hashtag. When selecting a Page (no master page), saving and opening that file again, there is indeed a number, as it now opens a Page in the editor and not a Master Page. I can't edit the initial post, so can't add things like [Solved] to the title of this thread. I think it's too much to hide this post. So that's a little unfortunate. But anyway, thanks guys! Quote
