Allow updating is only for that connection. You have to set the 
directory of where the spreadsheet is to have it work without 
warning.

Tools / Options / Libre Office / Security / Macro Security /  Trusted 
Sources / 
Then under the Trusted File Locations you need to enter the 
directory that contains the spreadsheet that has the link.

One that I have listed is /home/msetzerii/staffx19
Have some speadsheets in that directory that link to csv files I 
create from web pages campus directory files. Without the entry, I 
would get those same messages. Note: I am using Linux so that is a 
linux path to directory, but would think same process with windows 
directory.

Took a while to find the exact process, but is directory of where the 
linked spread sheet is, and not where the linked files are.

Hope that helps.
