Input Fields - three of a kind
We have three fields which are all named 'Input Field' in the user interface each for different purpose.
Text Input Field
This is a field to prompt the user for an input. The field has a description and its content holds the user's input.
In the OpenDocument file format (ODF) such a field is represented by ODF element <text:text-input>.
When importing Microsoft Word documents (binary file format, *.doc) Microsoft Word fields FILLIN and FORMTEXT are imported as Text Input Fields.
The user interface to create such a field is found in the Fields dialog (Menu - Insert - Fields - Others) on pane Functions. Here the user has to choose Type 'Input Field'.
User Variable Input Field
This is a field to the value of a user variable ODF <text:user-field-input>
