Problem description: I've given up on trying to use cell protection, even though there are times when it would be great to be able to "lock" individual cells, rows or columns. It is unnecessarily complex. Are you planning to rethink it for the next release, or the one after that? I am not a programmer, so I lack the ability to do this myself. My thinking is that if a procedure doesn't work well, there is probably a better way to do it. That's called a bug - isn't it? Steps to reproduce: 1. .... 2. .... 3. .... Current behavior: Expected behavior: Operating System: Mac OS X Version: 3.6.5.2 release
This seems like a valid enhancement request, setting status to "NEW".
(In reply to comment #1) > This seems like a valid enhancement request, setting status to "NEW". Indeed, but the reporter did not say clearly what he feels too complicated. And he should propose an alternative. NB: I feel easy to protect only one cell or a column in a sheet, when you have understood that all cells are protected by default. Best regards. JBF
I'm the original reporter. When I simply want to protect a single cell, the procedure is ridiculously complex. I have not been able to figure out how to do it, even with online "help". Just allow us to protect ONLY what we want to protect, right from the menu.

I think there is some misunderstanding because the procedure is very simple. Can you please explain step by step how you proceed to protect: - just one cell (eg cell B2) - a column (eg C) Waiting this information, I set the status to NEEDINFO Best regards

I originally reported it because this function is essentially unusable in its current format.

Ok, just saying it is unusable without answering our questions does not help. So closing as WorksForMe because each user who commented feels the current procedure easy enough. Best regards. JBF
I am not a programmer, so explained it quite clearly in very plain English. Is that clear enough? In any case, I may need to dump OpenOffice / LibreOffice due to its lack of functionality for the publishing industry. I hope that a side benefit may be spreadsheets which are more usable for the basic spreadsheet needs that I have.
