Description Cor Nouws 2019-04-25 12:48:52 UTC

See https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01060900.html

The text reads  " Recent versions of LibreOffice caches spreadsheet formula .."
IMO the wording there needs to be changed to:
  " Since version XX of LibreOffice ... "
Recent is outdated soon, or maybe already.

I would omit all whatever versions altogether, so the sentence reads
"LibreOffice caches spreadsheet formula results into its ODF file."

The point is that all versions always wrote formula results to file (also OOo and others did) but at some point we stopped to always recalculate everything to be able to load things faster.

Thanks - useful explanation, as usual ;)
(This by the way also implies that the text in the HELP was not precise right from the start.)
