Summary: EDITING: Option to merge data when copy/pasting
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: peter.morph...@googlemail.com
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice

Example to demonstrate the behavior
Problem description:
Steps to reproduce (exemplary, please also find the example attached):
1. Fill in "A" into B4
2. Fill in "B" into C7
3. Fill in "C" into C8
4. Fill in "D" into B8
5. Select the 4 fields, top left B7 to bottom right C8
6. Cut the fields
7. Select field B4
8. Ctrl+V (Paste)
Current behavior: A prompt appears that warns you, that data will be
overwritten and you can select Yes or No
Expected behavior: I think there should be a third option "merge" data (and
then the options should be "Overwrite", "Merge" and "No"). In the original
dataset the place for "A" was empty. In my opinion there is no need to
"overwrite" field B4 in this case which a non-data field. I discovered this
issue in a more complex context, but the principle stays the same.
I can imagine, that this can get pretty complex, especially when things like
borders, (background) colors etc. come into play, but I think the described
enhancement is better in any way, you could still use the old behaviour using
the "Overwrite" option if you prefer that.
Thanks for your awesome product! :)
