            Bug ID: 121626
           Summary: When copying sheets or objects (checkboxes/charts)
                    references in the objects are not updated
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.2.1 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: fabio at villarinascimento.it

Description:
For certain objects (i have tested charts and checkboxes) references to cells
within the objects are static. This can have very annoying consequences. If
this is not easy to fix, the programming team should at least consider some
solution when copying an entire sheet. The way it is now, all checkboxes and
charts within the newly made sheed will still refer to the data on the original
sheet.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on a new document create a checkbox or chart that refers to one or more
cells in the current sheet
2. copy the sheet using the 'move or copy sheet'function


Actual Results:
the objects on the newly created sheet are as-good-as useless because they
refer to the data on the original sheet. The references need to be updated
manually

Expected Results:
the references within the objects are automatically updated


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
with complex sheets containing a lot of objects the behaviour is very annoying
since I can't just copy the sheet to a new one expecting it to behave the same
which is cause to significant frustration.
