Description Eric 2017-04-25 05:48:55 UTC
Description:
Currently in Calc links to external data can only be jupdated on a user specified but fixed interval. I would like to be able to specify a more complex update schedule, between two times of day for example. e.g Update every 15 minutes from 6:30am to 1pm but do not update at all between 1pm and 6:30am and do not upate at all on Saturday or Sunday (same schedule as NYSE but adjusted for PST time)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Menu Sheet->Link to External Data
2. Checkbox "Update every and an input box to sepcify seconds
3. Remove this (step 2) and replace it with a more advanced option to configure a realistic update schedule

Actual Results:  
Can only set a fixed repeating interval in seconds

Expected Results:
Should be able to set a realistic update  schedule including update interval within a specified time block including time of day start and end, and days allowed etc etc. Kind of like cron does although please dont make us use that format. A GUI dialog allowing the selection of start stop time interval & days of week etc would be nice


Reproducible: Always

I'm afraid this goes into such marginal territory that it would be best served as an extension. Closing as WONTFIX.
