What is the current behavior?

Lost of word custom properties after Onlyoffice edit

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.

• Create in word a document with custom properties (Info / Properties / Advanced Properties then tab Custom)
• Open it with Onlyoffice and do a minor modification to save it

Don't think so

Hello, @cpot.
Thank you for report.
I can confirm - this is bug, issue 46739 in our private issue tracker.

@Rita-Bubnova for the record, it is on the template of one of the largest European Institution.... Hope for a 'quick' fix (i am not talking about managing custom properties, just not loosing them

[Rita-Bubnova]

This issue fixed (https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/core/commit/a7d8e656c63935a439817ffc29d69867484d4db5, https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/sdkjs/commit/2f4e89626caeddddbf330ce46d9e7a6c132de855) in future major release, but currently I have no ETA for this release.

@Rita-Bubnova i don't know why onlyoffice bug fixes are in major release ... bug fixes should be in minor releases (or intermediates release for difficult ones).

Lost of Office data is a bug IMHO.

@cpot Some fixes require major redone of application and simply cannot be include in any near release, so sometimes those fixes are moved to next release

And I'm pretty sure mention somewhere else, but again - QA team didn't decide in which version bugs should be fixed, we can advice, but this is developers decision.

Sorry for your bug, but we simply cannot release a new minor version for bug which was reported several weeks ago and one commit of fix of this bug contains 1216 additions

Well let's say more management decision
