[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 139858] Paste Special Comments and Text conflict
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139858 --- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze --- You can paste special comments only and keep the cell content by checking the Add option (it adds nothing since you paste only the comment). But for the other way around, pasting content into a cell with comment, I don't see a workaround. And actually I wonder if that's needed. Why would you want to create an empty cell with a comment (empty because you know the content will be overwritten) and paste something into it? Guided workflow perhaps but then you could comment directly within the cell. I hesitate to agree with the issue because of the implication, namely to add more options "Keep comment" and "Don't overwrite content". Without a really good use case I recommend to keep the UI as simple as possible. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139858 --- Comment #7 from Jon --- Heiko - I appreciate the workaround; but, clicking the Add function when pasting comments only isn't intuitive. Pasting is inherently an additive process, your are adding text, comments, formatting etc. The add / subtract / multiply / divide seem to be mathematical functions. By having to click the add option after already selecting to paste only the comments, is unnecessary and no keeping with the simplicity principle you mention in your other comment. I may indeed have cells that already have comments but I only want to paste in text or formats and NOT clear or overwrite the comments. While this may be working as documented, I argue this is a design defect and should be fixed to function as outlined above. I tested this capability in MS Excel and it works as described and as one would expect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
