Files 00.odt, 01.odt and 02.odt

Let's suppose you have a main file in writer (00.odt). In this file, we have a section. Then, we have another file in writer (01.odt) that has another section linked to the specific section in the file 00.odt. Now, we have a third file in writer (02.odt) that has a section that links to the section in file 01.odt, which happens to be linked to another section in file 00.odt.

In this scenario, the cascade of link of file 02.odt breaks, unless you uncheck the "protected" option in the section configuration.

In my view, the cascade of links should be kept even when the section in file 02.odt is "protected".

Attached goes these three files.
