Description Buovjaga 2021-02-04 15:27:32 UTC
1. Open attachment 161675 [details] from bug 122298 (enable macros when it asks)
2. Double click the form categories to open it
3. Change the first value in the amount column

The chart should update immediately. The display of the chart is also different, there are three bars per group and the legend is different.

> Macro not receiving event for form modification

This title looks wrong. The event is received (and setting a breakpoint to SUB ChangeData would trigger the breakpoint when editing the data).

But I am inclined to call this NOTABUG. The macro calls 	oDiag.Component.setmodified(true), abusing its side effect of updating the component. Not setting its "modified" flag looks legitimate in a locked document with modifications disallowed; and instead, its XUpdatable::update() should be called:

> oDiag.Component.update()

which works as expected.

Trying to fix this could be either reverting the fix for tdf#77007 (and then trying to implement some more complex fix to make sure to mark loaded charts unmodified in different scenarios), or introducing some more complex logic to the check in the mentioned fix, which would try to guess if parent "IsEnableSetModified = false" does not apply to this element, which would be likely difficult to implement correctly.
