[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 158045] updating data sources
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158045 --- Comment #2 from walter --- I upgraded to Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 56f7684011345957bbf33a7ee678afaf4d2ba333 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-AT (en_AT); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded made a new data ods file made a new writer file, where I manually added the database via "Exchange Database", with shift+ctrl F4 I opened the data sources menu and drag dropped the placeholders, but didn't get the mail merge panel, where I can preview and save versions of my dataset. so I ran the wizard and then it popped up. I ran a test save and it worked. then I closed the ods, modified and saved it. reopened the odt AND IT WORKS, i can switch trough all the new data. Works as expected. the old files still dont work, if I use "exchange database" it accepts the files and it works, but as soon as i save, close, reopen the file, I have to redo it, I cant register the ods manually as a database as it only accepts odb files and throws "the connection to the datasource couldnt be established. no SDBC driver was found for the URL". so I removed the placeholders from my files and saved under a new name, reopened them and followed the procedure which i described above. now it works. so I dont know if it was due to the older version or my new approach to implement it, now it works good enough for me, the refresh/rebuild button still doesnt load changes to the ods file, for that i have to close the odt, but then the changes are immediately available. this working would be lovely to have as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158045 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) changed: What|Removed |Added Version|unspecified |7.3.7.2 release Whiteboard| QA:needsComment| CC||stephane.guillou@libreoffic ||e.org Ever confirmed|0 |1 Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDINFO --- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) --- Thanks for the report! I can't reproduce: using an ODT with fields attached to data stored in an XSLX file, I could later on add data to the XLSX, then open the ODT and Save Meged Documents: it would use the new data automatically. No prompts, but extra data is used without requiring extra action. Please try the following: - Update to a currently supported version (7.6) - If the data source has moved or changed names, you can use in Writer: Edit > Exchange Database. That should allow you to point to the data source without having to go through the Wizard again. - If you can still reproduce the issue, maybe provide example files as attachment for us to test in more similar conditions. Let us know if that helps.
