    Have you built your template using the Developer tab in Microsoft Word?
     
    Wherever you need dynamic values, you have to insert content controls from the Developer tab. Also, make sure you’re not using Rich Text controls, as it's not supported in the Populate Word Template action.
     
    Once your template is ready and select this template in Populate Word Template action it will appear all the dynamic contents input fields.
