There seems to be some misunderstanding about the Data Validity feature. The only case when the behavior is to utterly _reject_ (IOW, "do not allow") a value that does not match the validity rule is when the "Error message" checkbox is enabled AND the type of message is "stop". Otherwise... When the "Error message" checkbox is disabled, or when it is enabled while the type of error message is different than "stop", the validity check is indeed (and has always been) a "suggestion". Each type of message (and the "no message" option) gives some "relaxed" variant on the "suggestion" path. The changed introduced in tdf#159595 means that the more-relaxed behavior was eliminated, and instead the complete rejection is now triggered by 2 different statuses. IOW, tdf#159595 reduces the variants and duplicates 1 of the alternative results. This is not an improvement (and the only reason is a language inaccuracy). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
