Yes, indeed, that was about the mail merge functionality (I think, quite obsolete title, as it is not about mail merge but preparing the set of typical documents based on some template). I have re-checked, and found that the issue is related ONLY to DOTX format: so the values are lost if the template is saved in MS format, moreover the date format from the database is not imported properly. I may assume it may be a part of compatibility issues, eg language document property is lost when saved in MS compatible format and re-opened back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
