I have a patch for the help page for links to external files ( https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/shared/01/0218.html ) and found this report in that connection. I am willing to make the appropriate changes, but have no knowledge of the technical issue. If you could tell me what should dropped/added, etc., then the change will be made immediately. Here is the current text for Automatic. Automatic Automatically updates the contents of the link when you open the file. Any changes made in the source file are then displayed in the file containing the link. Linked graphic files can only be updated manually. This option is not available for a linked graphic file. The Automatic option is only available for DDE links. You can insert a DDE link by copying the contents from one file and pasting by choosing Edit - Paste Special, and then selecting the Link box. As DDE is a text based linking system, only the displayed decimals are copied into the target sheet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

It seems to work in master copying from (1) Writer to Writer and (2) Calc to
Writer.

(1) looks as
Link Source
DocumentText body
UPDATED
(2) looks as
NB Not disputing that DDE is deprecated and soffice only, of course.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109283 --- Comment #6 from Cor Nouws --- 3.3.4rc1 and 3.4.6rc2 give similar results as 3.3.0, i.e. paste special, check 'Link', results in valid DDE. In 3.5.7rc2 the behavior has changed: no DDE links as result from paste special, check 'Link'. So the change is introduced somewhere between 3.4.6 and 3.5.7.

Ah in 3.3.0 paste special results in
{=DDE("soffice";"";"sheet.range")}
and in later versions
{=''#$'sheet'.range"}

Still I see a different behavior in 3.3.0 and 3.6.7 (and recent master)
> A DDE link
> would be =DDE("soffice","/path/to/file.ods","Sheet1.A1") for example.
The HELP (opened from dialog Edit > Links) reads:
"Automatic
[...]
The Automatic option is only available for DDE links. You can insert a DDE link
by copying the contents from one file and pasting by choosing Edit - Paste
Special, and then selecting the Link box. As DDE is a text based linking
system, only the displayed decimals are copied into the target sheet."

Pasting as Link doesn't create a DDE link but a normal external reference,
these don't have an automatic update mode (and afair never had). A DDE link
would be =DDE("soffice","/path/to/file.ods","Sheet1.A1") for example.
