So, we have "Data Sources" button in MM toolbar and a single click opens
"Database selection". You browse to tables and drag fields where you want.
Proposal was (if I understood it) to add another button to MM toolbar that
would open "Database selection" (and then also tables and fields). 
So, you would save that one click to open Data Sources but would loose visual
overview of fields data, possibility to drag where you want and get that field
at cursor position. 

Heiko didn't support this one. I don't know why he didn't close so I'll do it.
Just because I also didn't understand the value of this comparing to the
effort. 
Gabor, if you don't agree please set again as Unconfirmed. Or get someone in CC
who could say more.

Hard to imagine how this function could be implemented in the toolbar. There
are so many sources and references that you likely end up in a situation where
it's unclear to the user why a command is disabled. On the other hand, the
implementation effort is high with not too much benefit. I would say WFM.

Well just dragging fields could work, I suppose.
I was not aware of this feature, although it is documented and that part of
help is displayed in extended help mode.
So it is possible to discover this feature, but the current toolbar does not
exactly pushes it in your face.

Let the UX team decide on this, shall we?

(In reply to Gabor Kelemen from comment #0)
> When creating a Mail Merge document one usually needs to insert Mail merge

I guess you mean Insert - Field - More Fields - Database - Mail merge fields.
> However, there is no easy access to this window from the Mail Merge Wizard
> or the Mail Merge toolbar, making it hard to discover that one needs to use
> this during the document creation workflow, after setting up the data source.
With Bug 109118 in 6.0 I open Data Sources and then just drag fields.
> I think it would be helpful to add a .uno:InsertField button to the Mail
> Merge toolbar.
If you still find that button useful, please explain when it would be more
useful than Data Sources and drag fields.
