Created attachment 192526 [details] Example file from Excel In a protected sheet it is still possible to change data validation conditions from the context menu, but not from the main menu. 1. Open attached file -> Check in Data menu that the Validity item is disabled - good 2. Right click on one of the numbers, select Validity -> Menu item is not disabled, the Validity dialog opens - bad. Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3d3242ef3a6f111d6220c60d5c1b968c7f46fc5f CPU threads: 15; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI: en-US Calc: default Seems to have been started in 6.1 when the Validity menu item was added to the context menu for the first time.
Created attachment 192527 [details] The example file in Excel with disabled data validation, and in Calc with dialog opened from the context menu
(In reply to Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) from comment #0) > 1. Open attached file > -> Check in Data menu that the Validity item is disabled - good > 2. Right click on one of the numbers, select Validity > -> Menu item is not disabled, the Validity dialog opens - bad. I can repro these steps with attachment 192526 [details] and on a new ods file on a recent LO 24.8 alpha, but, to be clear, when I attempt to actually modify the fields in the Data Validation dialogue, the result is the Information message that the "Protected cells can not be modified". So: * The Data Validation > Validity dialogue is reachable; * The fields and values in the Data Validity dialogue are seen and they _seem_ to be editable. * But none of the fields, values or settings of the Validity dialogue are actually modified. Side comment: "Calc menu Data > Validity..." vs. "Calc cell context menu > Data Validation..." Validation (as in Excel) vs Validity.
