Description Dakota Pitman 2021-10-20 17:59:29 UTC
Description:
I have a conditional format in LibreOffice Calc version 7.1.6.2.0 that changes a cell color based on a date a user enters into the cell. The sheet is protected. I have the Format Cells - Cell Protection "Protected" box unchecked, once the cell has changed color based on the date entered, the user is not able to edit that cell. It gives the error message that "Protected Cell Cannot Be Modified" 
When unchecking the protection in Cell Protection, I have always been able to edit the cell, regardless of color change, now that option no longer works. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add conditional format to change cell color based on any logic you want 
2. In that cell, go to Format Cells - Cell Protection, Uncheck the Protected option to allow cell editing 
3. Protect Sheet 
4. Add text to activate color change for Conditional Format 
5. Try to Backspace the cell - the error message dialogue now pops up 

Actual Results:
I received the dialogue box stating that Protected Cells Cannot be Modified 

Expected Results:
I should be able to backspace the text in the cell and re-enter text needed 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Need to be able to backspace text in a specific cell when Cell Protection is disabled in a Protected Sheet
