--- Comment #16 from Cor Nouws <[email protected]> ---
Reading all info and ideas, I clearly support Carstens expectation:
- I suggest that refreshing linked data, does not overwrite the applied
formatting.
- And clarifying the Help would be good to.


AFAIK, there are various quite different ways to get 'external' data.
1. Sheet > External Links
     uses no formatting (plain data)
     but currently, refreshing overwrites applied cell formatting

2. Edit > Paste Special
     with data from within the application;
     (='file:///xx/yy.ods'#$Sheet1.A3:E36
     either with or without formatting from the source

3. Navigator > Select different file at bottom > Drag named range (copy or
link..)
     does use the source formatting 

NB:  Edit > Paste Special, with external data, opens the text import dialog
(known from CSV) and is not a link (and also without formatting).
