Re: spreadsheet, renaming a spreadsheet

It's Link branch question. It belongs here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=44 you are being silly, it;s a spreadsheet question. Why divide and confuse? as for renaming, it is no different to renaming any other item in your tree view - you are not "renaming" you are adding &q...
