Comment 1 Charles R. Francis 2020-08-08 19:50:35 UTC 
I would like to send a folder with 4 files located therein, a Calc file where the information is inserted, and three Writer files linked to it that are used for submittal to an Owner for payment.  Unfortunately, the attachment option above appears to only take single files. Please note the folder is only 107.9kB of data. Let me know if there is a way to send these files so that you may replicate the issues. The linkages were working under LibreOffice 6.4 and earlier.

The zipped three files contain a calc file linked [DDE] to 2 writer files.  When placing a value in the calc file, the linked files should update with the numbers or sums of the numbers through DDE.  The files would be used by a contractor to create and submit a pay application to an architect for construction projects.
