        <pre>can confirm this using:
Version: 5.4.6.2
Build ID: 1:5.4.6-0ubuntu0.17.10.1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.13; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group

After unzipping the example files opening content.xml inside TestAufnahme.odt
you will find the form control with the following:
<form:connection-resource
xlink:href="file:///home/robby/Downloads/TestDB/TestDB.odb"/>

Now I fix that for my directory path and the form functions as needed.

Save the form and close it.

Looking at contents.xml the value has changed to:

<form:connection-resource xlink:href="../TestDB.odb"

relative addressing does not work there, not sure id ever did but maybe.

If you register the odb and use the registered name it all works fine of
course, but that isn't the point is it.

I know idea why the odt file is being set to dirty when a post data happens. If
I check with the form properties right after that the fully qualified path name
is still present.</pre>
