When you set up the settings of the Goal Seek tool (Tools - Goal Seek), they should be remembered during the current session (until the document is closed). This is especially useful when you need to run the same Goal Seek operation multiple times. Currently we need to redefine the settings each time we use the Goal Seek. Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to Tools - Goal Seek 2) Configure your settings and run the Solver 3) Now close the dialog 4) Open the dialog again (Tools - Goal Seek) 5) The settings were "forgotten" and we need to redefine them Expected behavior The settings should be remembered I do not mean the settings need to be saved to the file, nor should they be remembered after the document is closed. But at least during the same session, it would be very helpful to remember these settings.
Makes sense to me. Rafael, do you think the solution should be consistent with e.g. what the Sampling dialog would get in bug 160291?

You mean being able to run the solver without closing the dialog? If so, I think this is not as important in the Goal Seek dialog (at least I have never felt the need here), but no opposition to make it possible to run Goal Seek without closing the dialog. Right now I'm working on the "remember settings" fix.

No problem, sounds good to prioritise remembering the settings, you have more experience with it than most :)
