--- Comment #20 from pharmankur <[email protected]> --- I agree with the bug. It leaves the user is funny situation. In Sheet --> Link to External Data --> URL of external Data Source --> After pasting the URL, there is no indication to user what to do next. The button next to it is "Browse" and when clicked on it opens local file manager (which obviously cannot be any URL of EXTERNAL Data) Its only when searched for help we get :- ------------------------------------------------------- https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/scalc/guide/webquery.html With the help of the Web Page Query (LibreOffice Calc) import filter, you can insert tables from HTML documents in a Calc spreadsheet. Inserting by Dialog Set the cell cursor at the cell where the new content will be inserted. Choose Sheet - Link to External Data. This opens the External Data dialog. Enter the URL of the HTML document or the name of the spreadsheet. Press Enter when finished. Click the Browse button to open a file selection dialog. In the large list box of the dialog, select the named ranges or tables you want to insert. --------------------------------------------------- In this entire text, the most important line "Press Enter when finished. " is very easy to miss out or misunderstand. Personally I had read this line and my understanding was to "press OK" because for all other dialogue boxes, Pressing Enter Key and Pressing OK button does the SAME things. So when OK button was greyed out and help was telling me to press Enter Key, I imagined that pressing Enter would do nothing as OK is disabled. And, Even after pressing Enter key there is no intimation / response is shown. Only after some waiting we get next dialogue box suddenly out of nowhere. This entire UI scenario require serious upgrade. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
