AllowEditRanges are not copied with worksheet.copy()

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hello,

It appears that when you copy a worksheet the Allow Edit Ranges section in Excel is not copied to the new worksheet. Code sample below with a source and output file attached. Note that cell C2 on Sheet1 is editable due to Allow Edit Ranges, but cell C2 on sheet copy is not editable.

    [Test]
    public void foo34()
    {
        var workbook = new Workbook(@"ProtectedSheet.xlsx");
        var sourceSheet = workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"];
        var targetSheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("Copy");
        targetSheet.Copy(sourceSheet);
        workbook.Save(@"ProtectedSheet_saved.xlsx");
    }

Thank you,
-Andy

@weissa,

Thanks for the template Excel file.

Thank you for providing the Excel template file. After conducting initial testing, we were able to reproduce the issue you mentioned. It seems that when we copy a worksheet, the “Allow Edit Ranges” section in Excel is not properly transferred to the new worksheet. However, Microsoft Excel is able to copy protection/unprotection settings without issue.
