Description Arnaldo 2020-09-18 10:06:28 UTC

Description:
Hi!

I think the enclosed snapshots clarify the bug.

Furthermore:
- I used a model for a new file
- I added some lines to an external file (manual update)
- these are used for a drop-down in A1
- I saved the "external file"
- I updated the link in the new file
- all OK in the new file
- I saved the new
- I closed Calc

I use the value of A1 for formulas in other cells using "vertical search".

When I re-open the "new":
- all the "just added" rows in the external file are OK in A1 but has an error in the cells that refer to A1 in the row
- Calc informs that automatic update is disabled so I click OK
- all is fine again
- BUT
- the link for A1 formula has changed to another one that is used in this file
- BUT
- value in A1 and cells referring to A1 are OK

If needed, tell me how to submit model with the linked files.

Thanks.
