Description Andreas Säger 2018-04-08 10:20:23 UTC
When creating a new spreadsheet connection you are prompted for the spreadsheet's path and if it requires a password to be decrypted.
The option is no longer availlable once the database document had been created. For other connection types it is availlable via Edit>Database>Properties...

Could confirm confirm "Password required" isn't available for existing spreadsheet connection. But have tested this with older versions down to LO 3.6.7.2 with OpenSUSE 42.3 64bit rpm Linux. Isn't available in any version here. Isn't available also in AOO 4.1.3 Are you shure it has been available for existing connection in any version before?
Comment 2 Andreas Säger 2018-04-09 19:05:01 UTC
No, I am not sure.

I think this bug report needs deeper research. I would like to have comments from people with more experience. Maybe this is an odf issue or LibO saves some properties in a false way? I've no experience with database connections.

@Robert, can you test with LibreOffice 3.3.0? If it's there also it's definitely no regression but an 'Inherited from OOo' issue.
