Description p_kongstad 2012-11-25 12:36:28 UTC
Problem description: 

When you paste values using paste special (Text, Numbers, Date & Time) the conditional formatting is lost.

Steps to reproduce:
1. A1 Index A, B1 Index B in a new sheet.
2. A2 we fill with a
3. In B2 we add conditional formatting (Cell Value | Equal to| A2) and give it a style. I have used green as backgound.
4. Before pasting using paste special (Text, Numbers, Date & Time) we check that conditional formatting (Cell Value | Equal to| A2) is ok. It should be.
5. Now we copy value in A2 to B2 using copy and paste special (Text, Numbers, Date & Time). Both A2 and B2 now have same value and background should change. It doesn't.
6. Once again we check for conditional formatting.It is lost
7. Using CTRL+Z should restore conditional formatting, but does not return spreadsheet previous state.

Current behavior:
Conditional formatting is lost when pasting value using paste special (Text, Numbers, Date & Time). 

Expected behavior:
Conditional formatting should be preserved.
              
Operating System: Ubuntu

This will not copy conditional formats. You need to check the formats option too.

Dear Markus,

This is not at matter of conditional copying.

Let me explain what I use this for. When I receivea Purchase Order from 
our client containing a lot of information and I need to compare that to 
my own information.

So for me the value of cell A2 is my expectation, while I copy / paste 
the information from the received Purchase Order using 'Paste Special' 
into cell B2 only with the options Text, Numbers and Date & Time. In 
reality I have many more records, but it is left out for now not to 
complicate.

So cell B2 is having conditional formatting. I use a background color to 
find the information I need to verify /controland this is activated if 
B2 is not equal to A2.

The issue is that the 'Conditional Formatting' in B2 when 'Paste 
Special' with the options Text, Numbers and Date & Time is lost. So I do 
not wish to change formatting in B2.

Ah ok, so I don't see this issue because I already fixed it.
