No lock in source graph if using Dynamic input range

No lock on source graph if using Dynamic input range and output to inputX newY.

Do not modify output designation if column exists

Output designation not modified if column exists. Meaning: After recalculation, column designations should not be changed.

After recalculation, column designation should not be changed.
