Created attachment 118207
--> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=118207&action=edit
zip archive containing two .ods files
Overview:
It is possible to reference cells in another document. When opening a file that
contains such references they can be manually or automatically updated.
However, in my case updating only works for simple text data, and silently
fails for things like dates and times.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create two empty ODS files.
2) In file A, add references to a couple of cells from file B. Save & close.
3) Open file B, change the content of those cells in file B - fill them with
strings, numbers, dates and times. Save.
4) Open file A again. You will be asked if external files should be updated
(depending on your settings). Afterwards, all fields will show the correct
values. Save & close.
5) Go back to file B, change the content, save.
6) Open file A again. Only simple text and numbers will be updated, but not
dates and times. Those are still the old values.
Actual Results:
Fields with date and time keep their old, outdated values.
Expected Results:
Everything should be updated.
The attachment contains two files that were produced after step 4), with A =
test-references.ods and B = test-data.ods. (You will have to fix the paths if
you don't store them in D:\)
