--- Comment #1 from PJ Fanning <fannin...@yahoo.com> --- There is nowhere (to my knowledge) that we have documented that setCellType preserves the value. You should never assume what the behaviour is, especially when it is ambiguous. If we change this, we are likely to have users who rely on it working the way it does right now. POI is 20 years and lots of users are fairly happy with the way things work or at least, can live with it. If you would like to provide a new method that converts the cell type while preserving that value and has test coverage that covers most or all of the possible combinations of conversions then this change will be reviewed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
