Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49676
links are not updated completely in referenced files
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:13:53 UTC
Given that Spreadsheet A has links to Spreadsheet B and Shreadsheet C. Spreadsheet B has links to Spreadsheet D. All files are saved. Spreadsheet D then has changes made and saved. If Spreadsheet A is then opened (also happens the same if open and links are updated) in the current Beta (and previous betas) the changes made in Spreadsheet D will not ripple through to Spreadsheet A. They should. This used to work in ver 1.1.4 and works in other products like Excel. It worked in ver 1.1.4, presumably because all of the files were actually opened and appeared on the desktop. While all of the files appearing was annoying, it at least worked for linked sheets like in this example.
Hi, please attach some documents that show how they are linked. Frank
Created attachment 27180 [details] contains three excel files that give example-changes in file3 ripple properly under ver 1.1.4 but not ver 1.9.104
Hi Niklas, if the second file is closed and update link in the first file is triggered, we do not open the second file anymore, so the link to the third file isn't updated. Please have a look. Frank
reassigning (this is only about DDE links, SvxInternalLink)
On executing the link a proper UpdateDocMode was missing
Fix works, Calc doesn't update the display correctly, but deselecting the cell and possibly selecting it again does it. I don't know wether this happens only on my system or everywhere, and I also don't know wether this is so serious that it should be fixed in OOo2.0.1 also. But anyway, this would be a bugfix in Calc and it is not necessary to do it in this CWS because it is present on the master also. re-open issue and reassign to fst@openoffice.org
reassign to fst@openoffice.org
reset resolution to FIXED
found fixed on cws fwk21
found integrated on m133 using Linux, Solaris and Winows
