According to the OpenDocument spec, the table-row and table-column elements can be styled using either common styles or automatic styles. However, if I author an .ods file programmatically (for example using odfpy) and apply a common style to either table-row or table-column, when I open this .ods in LibreOffice Calc, it completely ignores the styles. It will only respect automatic styles, but not common styles.
I’m trying to do something very simple: apply a row height of 1.25in to all rows in my spreadsheet. I do this by creating a common style named “CustomRowHeight”, and supply this as the style-name to each table-row element. But it doesn’t work unless it’s an automatic style, which is not ideal.
