Description: Boolean values are changed when opening and saving excel workbooks. I have attached sample workbooks that I created using Excel. In the first cell I typed in "TRUE", in the cell below "=TRUE". Both display as "TRUE" in Excel (see screenshot). When opened in LibreOffice, both display as "1". When saving as "savedInLibreOffice" to xls format from wihtin libreoffice again, the cell contents are changed as can be seen on the screenshot. This is an issue since we encountered this when programmatically processing excel documents and values from boolean cells could not be evaluated after making changes in LibreOffice even though the sheet containing the boolean values had not been altered (only the text of a single cell on another sheet had been changed). description of screenshot: top: document "savedInExcel" opened in Excel (left) vs LibreOffice (right) bottom: document "savedInLibreOffice" opened in Excel (left) vs LibreOffice (right) LibreOffice version: LibreOffice Version: 6.3.2.2 (same issue with 6.3.1.2) Excel version: Microsoft Excel for Mac Version 16.29.1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attached workbook "savedInExcel.xlsx" in Calc 2. Save again in xlsx format 3. Compare with original (preferrably in Excel if available) Actual Results: Cell A1 content changed from "TRUE" (no '=') to "=TRUE()" (added '=' and '()') Cell A2 content changed from "=TRUE" to "=1" Expected Results: cells contents should not change Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: StartModule [Information guessed from browser] OS: Mac OS X (All) OS is 64bit: no

> When opened in LibreOffice, both display as "1". confirming > Cell A1 content changed from "TRUE" (no '=') to "=TRUE()" (added '=' and '()') > Cell A2 content changed from "=TRUE" to "=1" both cells use default cell format, after changing cell format to "Boolean Value" both cells display "TRUE", but cell A1 is still =True(), and A2 is =1
