[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3356) Create a field appearance for a new value if NeedApperances is true

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3356?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15293141#comment-15293141 ] 

Maruan Sahyoun commented on PDFBOX-3356:
----------------------------------------

I'll fix that for 2.1 only and not apply the change to 2.0.x as this will change the behavior of forms filling. If there are other opinions please raise them.

> When an interactive forms field value is set and NeedAppearances is set to true PDFBox currently doesn't create/update the appearance stream. This shall be changed so new values are always reflected. This is also inline with the upcoming PDF 2 spec which requires appearances to be set and deprecates the NeedAppearances flag.
