MergeField in Header

I am having an issue when using MergeField’s in the header of a docx template. Everything pulls in fine from SharePoint when I put the MergeField in the body, but when it is in the header no information is pulled. How do I fix this?

Hello @Tom, thank you for your message.

Could you pelase say if you are using Plumsail Actions and Create DOCX from template action?
If that’s the case please share with us your DOCX template so we could try to recreate your issue and maybe help you.
You can send me it in PM if you don’t want the information in it to be public.

Hi @Oleg_Tsurkan,

Below is a screenshot of what it looks like in the flow, I hope this helps.

I don’t think I see an option here to send you a PM, probably because I am new.

Hello @Tom,

It seems like it is a bug on our side, I was able to recreate it.
We will fix it on the next week.
I will post any information about it here.

Hi Oleg,

Just wondering if you have any update on the fix? It would be nice to have the ability to merge fields into the header as well.

Hello @Tom,

We will release a new action which will include this feature.
Unfortunately, I can’t give any estimated date.

Hi, I just encountered this issue myself while testing a Flow, I’m glad it wasn’t something I’ve done.

It could have something to do with the type of merge performed on the document - my understanting is that mail and directory merges do not update headers. Hopefully something for you to work with.

Thanks!
