Description: Somehow the spreadsheet is wanting to retrieve automatic date from external source. I then select the option to DISCONNECT (i.e. it should forget the external source updating). When saving it all seems ok but next time I open it again shows the pop-up that updating from external source is not enabled. I want that message to disappear as there is no external source it should connect to. Why doesn't it forget the external source connection when I tell it to ? Steps to Reproduce: 1.forget the external source to update from 2.save 3.re-open spreadsheet 4. it hasn't kept the setting and again tries to update from external source Actual Results: Whatever I do, it doesn't remember the fact that I want it to totally forget the external source to update from. It keeps nagging about it even when I press the button to disconnect or forget the external source before saving the spreadsheet Expected Results: Read and remember the FORGET settings for external source update Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.0.3.1 (x64) Build ID: d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); GI: nl-NL Calc: threaded Windows 7 Professional (X64 NL)
Would it be possible you attach an example file (or perhaps a zip with 2 files: the ods file + external data file)?
Created attachment 168268 [details] File to test with in .xlsx The file originally was saved .odf but was saved as .xlsx as recipient is using Office 365 unfortunately. I imported the original data from another file and then saved as. Since then the link to external source remains in even when I tell it to break the link and forget the external source.
In addition to my last update: the external file is not residing on my PC, it is not accessible therefor I can't attach the external source file
I don't see any "DISCONNECT" option but on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, if I try this: - menu Edit/Links - select link - click "Break Link" button and confirm if I open Edit/Links again the link is not there. - save the file in xlsx + ods file (just to compare). - close files if I open the xlsx or ods file, LO proposes to update external links and Edit/Links shows again the link. Code pointer: cui/source/dialogs/linkdlg.cxx BreakLinkClickHdl we go in the if block: if( pLinkMgr && pLinkMgr->GetPersist() ) pLinkMgr->GetPersist()->SetModified();
The Break link behaviour Julian describes is exactly the issue I'm running into. It should break the link and forget about the external link permanently, not reminding me again about updating from external source the next time I open the file.
