This is related to bug 169267 When the Options - Calc - General -> "Update links on opening" is set to the default "On request" value, and the user refuses updating the linked values on opening, the Edit Links dialogs Update button does not let them do this either. 1. In Options - Calc - General -> "Update links on opening" make sure "On request" is selected 2. Open attachment 203741 [details] with attachment 203742 [details] downloaded in the same directory 3. When the "Automatic update of external links has been disabled." toolbar is displayed, either don't click on Allow updating or just close it 4. Open Edit - Links to External Files 5. In the Edit Links dialog press the Update button -> Nothing happens Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ce72458a4492c93b4429e2173057e7afbdbbc51e CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded This used to work before 7.1 commit: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=75a88761b70a098e77c73a0ba716d0e78a6d4659 author Eike Rathke <erack@redhat.com> 2021-08-01 21:40:15 +0200 committer Caolán McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com> 2021-08-03 12:39:55 +0200 commit 75a88761b70a098e77c73a0ba716d0e78a6d4659 (patch) Consolidate link update handling My expectation would be that updating the links can happen at opening time with the infobar or later from the Edit Links dialog, if the Options - Calc - General -> "Update links... " setting is not set to "Never". Especially because if the user does not allow the update from the infobar, then currently there is no other mean to do it - the Edit Links dialogs Update button would be a realistic expectation to be a manual override for the infobar option.
