merge same field in multiple tables

[tolot27]

I have several tables in my docx template which have an identifier column in common. If I specify a merge field with the same field name and use merge_rows, only the first table is populated with the rows.

How can I apply merge_rows to every table which contains the same field name specified in merge_rows?

Your Environment

• Python version: 3.8.10
• docx-mailmerge version: 0.8

Hi,

let me see if I understood it correctly. You have several tables that should be filled with the same data, right?

One workaround would be to just use a different identifier and fill the data separately.

I will look into the code to see if there is a problem there.

You got it right. Your proposed workaround requires to duplicate the json data in python with different identifiers several times (=number of tables).

Maybe https://github.com/iulica/docx-mailmerge/blob/master/mailmerge.py#L571 can be repeatedly called until it returns None?

Fixed, and released 0.8.1 . Please wait a little bit for the release to be published and then check if it works.
