Hello Niklas,
I will present a more global solution addressing the FILL on the OASIS
list. Unfortunately, I am rather limited in free time, but I still try
to do it over the weekend.

Oh, I forgot to press shift. Though, selecting 2 cells with the same

increment is less useful (because one does not have control on what

selected is the far better alternative.
Two equal dates are already recognized as "simple fill".
What do you mean as simple fill?
If I select 2 or more equal dates, and try to fill, the date still gets
incremented. This is not the case with ordinary numbers. This is the
reason, I supposed that the fill is broken (and basically it is, because
it doesn't work as for simple numbers). Strangely, filling using the
menu works as expected (though you can't trigger increment on).
I do not see any use case to select 2 or more equal dates and to expect
that filling will increment these values (especially the day in the
date). In the rare instance that something like this is desired, let the
user activate increment using CTRL. [I made a mistake in my previous
post, it is CTRL, not SHIFT.] By the way, CTRL doesn't trigger
INCREMENT, when used on simple numbers. And there is no way to do an
increment, if selecting 2 equal numbers, a much more common scenario
than incrementing the day when selecting 2 or more equal dates.
Sincerely,
Leonard
But "simple fill" always uses the Ctrl key to enable/disable the
increment. This is done the same way for all kinds of source data, to
keep consistent.
