Bug ID: 151645
Summary: Hidden sections are present in the output document
when they merged with option as individual documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If a document with hidden sections are merged as a single document the hidden
sections are stripped form the document. This is the expected result. But if
the document is merged as individual documents the hidden sections are present
in the document. This is a bug.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with this content (automatically numbered list)
1. first element
2. second element
3. third element
2. Insert 3 sections
-- 1st section
1. first element
-- 2nd section
2. second element
-- 3rd section
3. third element
3. Create a mail merge database with some fields: Id, name and some boolean
fields. For example:
ID Name Item1 Item2 Istem3
1 John true false false
2 Peter false true true
3 Paul false false true
4. Add "hidden" condition to the all sections: Format > Sections > Hidden:
!HiddenDatabase.Sheet.Item1
!HiddenDatabase.Sheet.Item2
!HiddenDatabase.Sheet.Item3
5. Choose File > Print and respond with Yes in the message box. Create a merged
file as a single document.
6. Choose File > Print and respond with Yes in the message box. Create merged
files as individual documents.
Actual Results:
The file created with as a single document options: OK
The files created with option as individual documents: is fails. For example.
The output is:
Peter
2. second element
3. third element
Expected Results:
The expected result is:
Peter
1. second element
2. third element
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No

sections are in the document structure. The sections are named in this way:
MailMergeSection[datetime][original section name]
Why are ouputs for individual documents wrong?
- Open a document.
- See Format > Sections: All sections are present in the document structure and
