=OPEN(attachment.xlsm, Redmine)
Attachments piling up in issues?

The spreadsheet attached to that issue opens and saves.

Redmine keeps a great deal of a company's working knowledge as attachments, and has no way to open them. Our plugin gives it one: Redmine becomes a WOPI host, the file goes to SumSheet or SumDoc, and the edit comes back as a new attachment. Measured on Redmine 6 — the current major, which the existing alternative does not support.

What was measured

The roundA macro workbook and a document with five pictures: opened from an issue, edited, saved back. VBA byte for byte, pictures byte for byte.
The refusalsUnsigned and forged requests, corrupted tokens, wrong paths — refused.
VersionRedmine 6. Worth checking before you compare: the office plugin already in the directory declares support only for Redmine 4.2 and 5.0, and its last release was in March 2024.
What this does not sayThe fixture workbook these rounds used asks Microsoft Excel to repair it on its own — so no silent-Excel claim here. See Nextcloud and Seafile.
