Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.0-1
Severity: normal


A database query on our client database produces two sets of fields, shiptoX and X. Sometimes a
shiptoX field is blank, and in that case we want to use the X field.

I insert a bunch of conditional text fields, each of which is condition:
[Ledger.InvoiceQuery.shiptoX], then: Ledger.InvoiceQuery.shiptoX else: Ledger.InvoiceQuery.X

When I merge a group of records, sometimes one record will have neither shiptoX nor X. In that case,
that record gets the value of the corresponding field from the previous merged item. (In the case
where two or three records have the same blank fields, the ghost entry gets copied forward
repeatedly).

Because I am already using a condition text to fill in the field, I cannot use a condition text to
hide the field if it isn't there.

This makes it impossible to use the mail-merge feature on sparse databases!

cheers, Rich.

Dear openoffice.org user,

Thanks for your interest in OO.org and the bug report you have contributed.

Your bug report [0] was done for a version which is now quite old (pre
version 2.0.0).

During the last 6 weeks I sent 3 requests to update this bug report, and verify
that this bug still exists with a more up to date version of OO.org.

Since the bug is quite old, and I didn't get any response regarding this bug, 
I'm closing it. I'm using the current unstable version for proving version info.

If you'll find this bug to still exist in a future version of OO.org, please 
reopen the bug and specify the affected version.. Let me know if you need help 
with this process.
