Description: I made a ott for different letters in my organisation I have differnt textfields (page, page number, date of last print, filename, etc.). Everything is OK, but when the document is printed via mail merge some textfields are empty/missing (date of last print, filename, others (number of page, page) are OK. Jürgen Kirsten dscheikey@gmail.com on users@de.libreoffice.org could reproduce the problem. It worked at least in earlier versions on linux, never tried in on Windows before :-) Thanks for fixing :-) I can give additional information if needed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter textfield page, filename and date of last print in a mail merge document 2. print and choose mail merge entry - 3. print w/o mail merge - Actual Results: 2. print and choose mail merge entry - some fields will be empty 3. print w/o mail merge - all fields will be OK Expected Results: every textfield should always be filled Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64) Build-ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c CPU-Threads: 2; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded

As far as I can see, that behaviour is the same as for a new document that has not been saved. (I created a new Writer document, then inserted the "Last printed" and "File name" and printed the doc, both are empty.) From a technical perspective, an explanation could be that the mail merge documents are only temporary documents and not the same as the "source" document, and as such actually have not been saved, so they behave the same as a newly created unsaved document.

Dear Christian, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Version: 7.4.1.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3c58a8f3a960df8bc8fd77b461821e42c061c5f0 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: CL I tested it with this LO-Version: working with mail merge doesn't set the "last printed" fields correctly to the mail merge print date/time (doesn't matter if its printed really or if a file is generated). The "last printed" fields are empty or keep the date/time from printing directly (not via mail merge).
