RTF-Reports - what causes EA to use MERGEFIELD

[Happy]

Currently I'm confused about generated EA-Reports regarding one certain point.

Lets say within EA RTF Template editor I add the field

Code: [Select]

{Meth.Notes}to a RTF Template within the method region to add all methods' notes to a report.

When I look at the generated RTF, I get confused.

Some of the methods' notes are there as "plain text" (as expected).

Some of the methods' notes are there as "mergefield link"

Code: [Select]

{MERGEFIELD Meth.Notes}

Why are some of the notes (or other fields) produced as mergefields and others aren't?

Even the mergefield notes have the notes I expected, no problem so far. But why are they handled differently?

Thx,
Happy

This is caused by the notes being plain text as opossed to having some formatting.  If you want to always remove the MERGEFIELD, check the option "Optimize for Open Office".

All notes in future build we be inserted as plain text.
