Description Dan Dascalescu 2022-06-01 21:31:06 UTC
I had a sheet linking to an external HTML file which has only one table, with id="foo".

In Calc 7.1, the "Available Tables/Ranges" in the External Data popup would detect a table named "HTML_foo". In 7.2, that's "HTLM_1-foo". That broke my sheet.

Is it result of Andreas change https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.2#General_improvements_2?

HTML tables listed in the External Data dialog (Sheet ▸ Link to External Data...) now show the table's caption to help identify them. tdf#127484 (Andreas Heinisch)

Do you mean it is updating the link in an existing document and thus it is breaking backwards compatibility?
