The spreadtab module is extremely useful, as it provides a wrapper
around a conventional table environment, to enable some
spreadsheet-like capabilities within the table (using the LaTeX
package spreadtab).
It can be downloaded from wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules.
When creating a long(multipage) table within the sLTable environment
provided by the spreadtab module, there is one small difference
between the plain LaTeX code produced by LyX 2.3.0 and 2.3.1.
Specifically, LyX 2.3.0 exports the lines:
\sLTable{}{%
\begin{longtable}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
while LyX 2.3.1 exports the lines
\sLTable{}{%
\begin{longtable}[c]{|c|c|c|c|c|}
In practice I think the LyX 2.3.1 version is correct, but it exposes a
bug in spreadtab module version 1.4, which cannot handle the optional
[c] argument following \begin{longtable}.
Thus LyX 2.3.0 can successfully generate a PDF file, while LyX 2.3.1
fails with a LaTeX error. This applies to LyX under both Windows 10
with MikTeX, and Linux Mint with TeXLive 2017.
An example LyX file is attached, along with the PDF file generated
successfully from it using File/Export/PDF(ps2pdf) with LyX 2.3.0.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to fix the bug in the spreadtab
module, so help on this would be welcome.

I'm the author of the module. I'll have a look. Thanks.
