            Bug ID: 160922
           Summary: A way to avoid adding 'file:///D:/....'# paths to
                    complex formulas when copying a tab to an other
                    spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
In my line of work, I have to produce documents that have complex calculations
about component parameters. In many cases, I would like to copy some tabs to an
other spreadsheet to do the calculations for a new product.

But where a cell's formula uses cells from other sheets, they will be augmented
with file refeneces to the source file in the new file. And many times not just
once, makes a formula extremly long.
This even happens where the target file has the same tabs.

There is only one solution, I have to use find and replace on formulas to
remove all file references. 'file:///D:/....'#

So it would be good to have an option like "do not change formulas" to the
window where you copy a tab to an other spreadsheet.

Some other people with the same issue:

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-copy-formulae-without-adjusting/22474

Steps to Reproduce:
1.On spreadsheet1, create two tabs. Do some calculations on on of the first
sheet that uses a cell from the second sheet.

2.Copy first sheet to an other spreadsheet.

3.Check the formulas on the new spreadsheet

Actual Results:
Formulas that reference on cell(s) of an other tab on the source spreadsheet
got file path referenced to the source file.

Expected Results:
Have a checkbox or something to disable formula augmentation.


Reproducible: Always
