Description: if you create a pivot table in the same sheet as the data it is based upon, then copy the sheet, the sheet name in the 'destination' reference is changed to point to the new sheet, while 'source' remains referring to the copied-from sheet. why? this seems totally wrong to me. we have copied both the data and the pivot table based on it into our duplicate sheet, and surely common intuition is that the right thing to do in this situation is for the duplicated pivot table to point to the duplicated data as its source... that's certainly what i expected in the document i created recently (attached to bug #135821), where i was doing a lot of copying and adjusting of sheets. it was an annoying waste of my time to have to go in and manually edit the tables in each instance (especially wrt. bug #133124, and alongside copying with the issues of #135821).

I confirm that behavior in 7.1, but... I'm not sure it's a bug. Mike, Kohei can you say your opinion here?
IMO this is a UX question. We have multiple similar cases of varying complexity (behaviour on copy of formulas with relative/absolute addresses; pivot tables; charts; named and automatic ranges; ...). I don't know if there's some formal conceptual description of the behaviour on these, so that it would make clear why current decision is taken. Anyway, IIUC technically it's possible to do either way, and it's just requires consensus and then manhours :-)
The source of the pivot table is $Sheet1.$A$1:$B$5 to deal with the fact that it usually goes into another sheet. Destination is $Sheet1.$A$10 or so, and we have to modify this on copy/move. What I could imagine in case of pivot tables on the same sheet, is to drop this part from the source and use just $A$1:$B$5. But for some reason changing this on Sheet1 seems to be possible manually but does actually inserts Sheet1_2.
No further input, so let's do it an omit $Sheet when creating on the same sheet.
Dear Lyndon Brown, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
