Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39947
insert names create sometimes loses names
Last modified: 2005-01-17 11:09:02 UTC
I have a spreadsheet document with a number of sheets and quite a few defined names. If I use Insert-Names-Create" to add a particular name definition the name is defined and it can be used in formulas. However Insert-Names-Define does not show the name in the list, neither does Insert-Names-Insert-Insert-All result on the new name appearing in the resultant list. Saving the document and re-opening shows that the name is lost. I think this might be what 20712 referred to about losing name definitions on save. I'll attach the file and explain how to repeat as soon as I work out how to do that...
Created attachment 21090 [details] Spreadsheet where you can repeated lose a name def.
So in the attached file NameBug.sxc On the "Setup" sheet, select cell range A16:B16 Choose Insert-Names-Create, and select Left-Column Change cell D16 back to its correct formula "=AnnualLeaveLoss" You will see that that name is now working. Choose Insert-Names-Define, not that AnnualLeaveLoss is not in the list. Save the spreadsheet, Open the spreadsheet, cell D16 now shows #REF! because the name definition has been lost.
