--- Comment #2 from walter <[email protected]> ---
I upgraded to

Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-AT (en_AT); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

made a new data ods file
made a new writer file,
where I manually added the database via "Exchange Database", with shift+ctrl F4
I opened the data sources menu and drag dropped the placeholders, but didn't
get the mail merge panel, where I can preview and save versions of my dataset.
so I ran the wizard and then it popped up. I ran a test save and it worked.

then I closed the ods, modified and saved it. reopened the odt AND IT WORKS, i
can switch trough all the new data. Works as expected.

the old files still dont work,
if I use "exchange database" it accepts the files and it works,
but as soon as i save, close, reopen the file, I have to redo it, I cant
register the ods manually as a database as it only accepts odb files and throws
"the connection to the datasource couldnt be established. no SDBC driver was
found for the URL".

so I removed the placeholders from my files and saved under a new name,
reopened them and followed the procedure which i described above. now it works.

so I dont know if it was due to the older version or my new approach to
implement it, now it works good enough for me, the refresh/rebuild button still
doesnt load changes to the ods file, for that i have to close the odt, but then
the changes are immediately available. this working would be lovely to have as
well.
