p.s. links and document locations may change, but issues must be distinct
readable a long time after creation, so everything that belongs to an issue must
be in the issue description

thx

Here are more details on the issue and how to duplicate:

1) Create a form with labels and text boxes in it
2) Select a text box only (not the label) as you want to control the text box
properties
3) Select the "Data" tab withing the text box properties window
4) Choose "Yes" in the "Filter proposal" option if you propose (maybe you want
to in the future) to filter the database contents based on this field.
5) Once you have chosen "Yes" in step 4 above, you are allowed to use a
drop-down menu by performing the following steps.
a) Go back to your form
b) Click the "Form-Based Filters" icon near the bottom of the form
c) ALL THE FIELDS YOU CHOOSE YES TO ARE NOW DROP DOWN MENUS AND SHOULD HAVE
VALUES IN THEM.  They don't have any values in them and this is the issue. 
Older versions of the software had drop down values.

i can repro that

set to 'new'

issue is not considered as a blocker for the next release

Note: This *never* worked for HSQL databases, not even in 1.x. It *always*
worked for (most) other database types. In particular, it still works for dBase
databases (as you can see with the Bilbiography). Thus I remove the "regression"
keyword.

Anyway, there was a bug (from the very beginning of the "form-based-filter"
feature) which for some databases prevented OOo from obtaining the list content.
Unfortunately, HSQLDB is one of those databases ...
