Description kissmeon 2026-02-04 23:34:30 UTC
Description:
We have at workd Exel spreadsheet where we put our data. To open the file you need to enter a password which Libreoffice correctly does, but when you open it we have some Protected cells locked by our boss and some which require a password so you can edit them, sadly for this password it does not ask me so I can't edit anything inside.

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Open a file that has a password to open it, add a password so you can edit cells.

2. Doesn't ask for password inside the file so you can't edit anything.
3.

Actual Results:
Doesn't ask for the password so you can edit a cell.

Expected Results:
Onlyoffice and MS exel ask you inside when you double click on a cell that we know we can edit for a password so it let's you edit the cell.


Reproducible: Always
