Please also add complete

But the most important thing: Your database contains personal data informations. That's very critical. Please delete this file (I don't know how tis is possible in LO and use a short database with dummy addresses instead!!!)

1 Open the file Umschlag.odt, contains a textfield which contais two datafields corresponding to the adress data
2 click on "Print", write asks if you want to make a serial letter -> yes
3 serial letter assistant opens -> click ALL and PRINTER
4Printing starts, but crashes after a few seconds

Thank you for the steps, but perhaps I'm not familiar enough with that topic. If I press "Yes" (for question "Do you want to print a form letter?"), a "Data source Not Found" windows opens. I select "Check Connection Settings" and I can see the database dialog in LO options. I couldn't find a way to select ods-file as database.
Comment 8 Timur 2022-01-19 11:24:40 UTC 
I reproduced with 7.2 but not with 7.3 and master 7.4+, so seems fixed, I mark WFM.

Note: Please attach files only with English alphabet, in my case I couldn't save "fur" so I had more steps to adjust.
Comment 9 Timur 2022-01-19 11:42:56 UTC 
Peter, please use LO 7.2.5.2. 
If OK there, maybe a duplicate of bug 144565.

I tried with the commit and really seems duplicate.
