Related: tdf#89178 Add an option to avoid converting some fields into text
... during mail merge.
In some modes (generating individual documents; creating PDF) the mail merge
process converts all fields into text. But sometimes it is undesirable for
fields not involved into mail merge itself:
* It is inconsistent with how MS Word behaves;
* The generated editable documents could benefit from having other fields
kept as fields;
* Some fields, when exported to PDF, produce different results: e.g.,
placeholder fields are output as empty spaces, not as placeholder text.
An expert boolean configuration option is added:
Office/Writer/FormLetter/ConvertToTextOnlyMMFields; it is false by default,
in which case, the behavior is unchanged. When true, all fields in the mail
merge document, except for database fields and hidden text fields, are not
converted to text during mail merge process.
