            Bug ID: 162319
           Summary: Allow to rename a database range
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Calc has the feature of "database range". It is comparable to "Excel Table". [I
think it can even more, e.g. bundled sort and filter. But I'm no Excel expert.]

In Excel it is possible to rename the table very easily: You type the new name
into the name field in tab "Table Design". That's all. Excel automatically
adapts the formulas, that use the table name.

Such feature is missing in Calc. It is important especially for database ranges
with linked content. They get the name "Import1", "Import2" automatically. The
user has no way to change it to something more meaningful.

The MRI extension allows to change the name, but does not update the formulas
that use that name.

The database range name is used in "structured references".
