Now, with L.O. 7.2.4.1, the connection works correctly again. There remains a minor bug that I had already reported in the past. When opening a text document that has links to scalc files embedded, you are asked if you want to update it or not (in the meantime the data in the spreadsheet may have changed). Choosing "YES" the embedded object will reflect the current state of the data in the spreadsheet. At this point, closing the ODT file, the bug can occur if the closing is performed by clicking on "X" as commonly used. a) if the document has not been further edited (changes to the actual text), the closure takes place without saving (and this without even a warning) losing the upgrades. b) the problem does not occur in all other cases: - the text has also been changed - the embedded ODS data has been updated manually from "Edit> Links to external files ..." (Update button) - close the ODT file with "Save" or "Save with name". Question: is this a bug? or is the fact intentional? in the latter case, I think it would be right to indicate it and prevent possible damage with a warning.
If it is already reported, add in that one, that bug still remains, adding the information about the last version tested. Se we can close this one as dupliclate.
Referring to the "X" question, where is it reported? If you intend my original bug 91817, that is dated 2015-06-02 but the problem is already here.

For a better understanding of the problem, I am attaching the two examples (.ods and .odt) containing explanatory NOTES. Try opening the .odt file without choosing to update it, then close and reopen it choosing to update, then close it by clicking on "X" and verify that it has not been updated. Subsequently, reopening it with update, close it with "save" and verify that it has been updated.
