Description: Not a bug, but a request. It would be useful to have a second address field when connecting mail merge fields to a data source. I know I can use a user defined field, but it would be better to have a field named "address2" or something like that. Actual Results: None Expected Results: None Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.4.5.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 9c0871452b3918c1019dde9bfac75448afc4b57f CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Please add an image/example so we are on the same page. And outline the use case which makes a second address field necessary.

Use case: I maintain a database with member addresses. For some of those members their address includes a street address, a building name, and an apartment number. One address line gets to be very long, so I break it apart by using a user-defined field. It does work, but it's not intuitive. If there is no interest in making this change, I can work with what I have. Thanks

Using Tools > Mail Merge Wizard... allows me to use "Address Line 1" and "Address Line 2", at least for the letter type. You are obviously looking at File > Wizards > Address Book Data Source. And here it depends on what type of connection you choose. In the end, the address book assignment can (also) be done via Tools > Address Book Source, and this dialog lacks on flexibility. But I'm not sure to what extend we can provide flexibility here. This needs some insights from development. PS: Documentation is not really helpful.
