Hi Nicolas Goaziou,

Thanks very much for your clarification:

hline relative references are not allowed on the left hand side of a formula

My error message was user-error: Can't assign to hline relative reference,
which now makes sense. Still, a lot of folks didn’t understand the original
message, myself included. I will update my SO post and the Github issue to
reflect this new information.

Still, I am confused because it seems like org-mode used to allow hline
references to be assigned, no? My code snippet was taken from a section in
the timesheet.el MELPA package, which was working fine until an org-mode
update broke it. I may be missing something, so I am not sure if this is
the case.

Anyway, your response is very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Luke
