CheckBox.AlternativeText blank after saving the workbook

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Dear All,

I am experiencing a strange behavior after I save an Excel in any format (xlsm, xlsx etc) both as a Stream and as a file.

My original file has checkboxes with AlternativeText set, when I save the file, if I open the just created stream (or I open the just created file) I get checkboxes without alternativeText set (in VS i see this property as an empty string).

I found a similar bug reported quite some time ago: Shape.AlternativeText blank in .XLSX.

I got this with Cells 18.9.0 (which is the version I have in production) and also with the latest available version 19.6.0

Could you please help?
This is a very sensitive issue for me, as the application is based on those deleted values…

Code example:

using (var document = LoadOrCreateDocument())
{
    //business logic code.. here, if I check with the debugger, alternative text is maintained
    document.Save(newTemplateStream, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Xlsm);
    //after I save, if I try to reopen newTemplateStream, I see checkboxes lost altText
}

Thank you in advance and hope to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,

Mirko

Thank you really much for the prompt response!
Do you have any ETA? I need to inform my customer since the application is already in production.

Also, is there a place in which I can keep track of the opened issue CELLSNET-46800?

Thanks in advance

Sorry if I ask but for us this is a blocking issue in production and I have to deal with an angry customer…
