--- Comment #13 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #12) > No, the checkbox is just labeled: > "Show error message when invalid values are entered" > not > "Show error message when invalid values are entered or don't show error and > disable validity list". We can agree that the checkbox label might not be completely accurate regarding the resulting behavior. That might be the reason for the whole "is it a bug or not" question (and the origin for tdf#159595, which could had been avoided). The matter of the label and the adequate Help content could be solved as a consequence of this report too (see my comment 7), but the main point is to make this less traumatic and more compatible. > > So you'd like a separate checkbox to disable validity list and that's ok for > me > but disabling error message shouldn't mean disabling validity list. With the Error message checkbox disabled, it has been like that for 3+ decades, and also in Excel (according to other posts in this report). The simpler and pragmatical solution – for users, please remember us – is to adapt the label and the Help content (and/or tooltip), instead of breaking prior behavior just because of a language inaccuracy. > > > > > * The patch in tdf#159595 is about the error alert being DISABLED. > Yes With the Error message checkbox enabled, we have 3 possible alternative status/behavior, depending on the type of error. We get the forth status/behavior by disabling the checkbox. Adding a separate checkbox in order to obtain the same alternative as we already had before the very recent patch in tdf#159595 seems not wise. We are forcing users to an unnecessary change in their spreadsheets, plus the potential import/export incompatibility, plus users having to change their already-known workflow from other spreadsheet tools (learned years ago and still valid in other tools) in order to adapt it to something else – tdf#159595 is only1 month old ATM. What for? For a language inaccuracy and the need for Help content improvement??? @Heiko, Please re-consider this. This is not a hard one. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
