Under Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> AutoCaption, check LibreOffice Spreadsheet. On the right panel, the Position selection stays grey, set on Below. It should be possible to change the Position. The idea is the following: when LibreOffice Writer Table is selected, it can be changed and set to Above. Now, most of the time, a Spreadsheet is used to display data in a table form. Since it can be a table, it should be possible to set the Position to Above to be logical with the LibreOffice Writer Table options. If we extend the idea, it should be up to the user to make a choice if he wants to change the Position for any of the AutoCaption types. Right now, while the option is available for any type, it is only accessible by Writer Table and Writer Frame autocaptions.
It looks like the reason there is no option for for changing the position of the associated caption is because it look like the format of the frame to hold the object ( in this case the embedded spreadsheet ) with a caption is fixed. So... imo this is not a bug but some enhancement. marking it as such. How easy, hard or useful ( though seems quite like a reasonable thing to be able to do to me )

Hi, Is this bug fixed? If so, could you please close it as RESOLVED FIXED? Regards
Starting from 5.2 we can set position also to Above. But, there are different behaviors with Position: Below: captions work for Spreadsheet but only if it's inserted via Insert-Object and not via Paste from Calc - behavior inherited from OO; Above: if table inserted via Paste from Calc, only caption shown, and not table data Above: if table inserted via Insert-Object, it seems fine with caption, but I get a loop and unresponsive Writer I'd ask others to test these cases with Above to check whether that belongs to this bug. Captions for Below position may be another bug, since they are inherited. BTW, https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=Common/AutoCaption&Language=en-US doesn't give a clue about these options, but that's another issue.
Actually, with Above I get intermittent Crash with master in: SwWrtShell::CalcAndSetScale which I reported as Bug 102286.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't have Spreadsheet options only these: - LO Writer Table - LO Writer Frame - LO Writer Image - Other OLE Objects (5 times)

Timur: the weird thing is I got exactly the same as you with LO Debian package 5.2.2

As described in this post, the option is available but shows the mentioned strange behavior. Replicated in: Version: 6.1.0.3 Build ID: 6.1.0-2 CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 4.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: de-DE (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could test this since I can see the options now. Here are my results: Above - insert object: seems ok "illustration 1:" above + separator line + full table - paste : almost ok "illustration 2:" + empty (no separator line) + table which dislays not completely (I must increase the table to see the whole data) Below - insert object: almost ok separator line after a short empty space + full table + separator line + "Illustration3:" - paste: KO : only full table (no autocaption even if I increase the "shape" which contains the table)
