Posted on by comsys

This is populating some template fields but not others. In fact when connecting the Action Populate a Microsoft Word Template to the Actual Template its only showing some Fields they are all Text Fields so there is no Type variation. The fields are spread over 2 pages in the MS Word Template. Its populating 12 Fields of 24 Fields.

Also previously I logged a question about repeater controls in the MS Word Template for a Table or List of Info this also does not appear to work although it does in the Cloud Flow without issue.

We have client requirments that this work in PAD please help. How do we raise tickets with MS re Actions that do not work ?

@comsys

it's not a very common use case. Could you please share a sample Word template which you created and Excel file along with screenshots of your flow? By doing so, you can explain your issue to the community members, enabling them to review your files and offer assistance accordingly.

Sample word Template. I discovered that the Bolded text Field in the Word Template does not get Recognised only the plain Text Control I have not experiemented with the Other Templating Controls. The Repeating Table I cant populate, it will only put one row in instead of adding rows it appears to overwrite the existing Row. So I only ever end up with one Row. Thanks
