Writer doc. showing issue with Endnotes page

A significant problem when creating endnotes is that there is no facility to allow the user to create a suitable Header (of their own choosing) on the first Endnotes page—as is the case with Contents, Alphabetical Index pages etc. You can see this with the attached file.

SUGGESTION: Allow the user to add Header, introductory text etc., as required, to the first Endnotes page.

I looked at your document. The end notes are on a Endnote style. If you modify the endnote style you could activate from there Header as you wish.

Go to Page styles - Endnote - right click - Modify - Header - ON - and change what you need.

A misunderstanding, but partly my fault. The revised attachment (please open) makes this clearer.

I'm talking about adding a Heading or introductory text on the first page of the Endnotes, just before the Endnotes start—and not actually in the Header area, itself. Currently this does not appear to be possible.

Confirm it. I tried some shortcuts, but I didn't succeded.
Maybe it's a shortcut. For the moment let's open a bug.

Changed "Header" to "Heading" in the Bug title, to avoid any ambiguity.
Comment 6 R. Green 2020-06-10 11:31:26 UTC
BogdanB mentioned it might be a bug. Have updated "Importance" accordingly.

I succeded with instructions from here:

https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/19550/heading-for-endnotes-page/

But is very important to select all the text from the document that will be before the endnotes.
