Hi!

| foo |
|-----|
|     |
|     |
|-----|
|     |
|     |
|-----|
#+TBLFM: @I$1..@II$1=1 :: @II$1..@III$1=2

Results in "user-error: Can't assign to hline relative reference"

Why?

I assumed to get following table as a result:

| foo |
|-----|
|   1 |
|   1 |
|-----|
|   2 |
|   2 |
|-----|
#+TBLFM: @I$1..@II$1=1 :: @II$1..@III$1=2

Because "@I$1..@II$1" is not as obvious as you may think at first
thought. As a consequence, it is forbidden.

Hm. So is it true that I can't come up with a formula that fills up
the cells with those integers except cell-by-cell?

Not if you can come up with a left-hand side that doesn't refer to
@I or @II.
