Description Felix Rudolphi 2024-02-04 15:27:05 UTC 
Description:
When running the mail merge wizard to update a document that already contains mail merge fields with a new data source, the "Next >" button never is enabled, and it is fully unclear why.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open ODT file that already contains mail merge fields and is linked to an ODS file.
2. Try to replace that ODS file by a new one using the mail merge wizard
3. Whatever you select as data source, "Next >" is disabled

Actual Results:
"Next >" is disabled, no info on why

Expected Results:
After selecting a data source, "Next >" should be enabled. If an unsuitable data source is selected, it should be explained what is missing. 


Reproducible: Always

Perhaps it is possible to add a sample file? This would make it easier to reproduce the bug. Thank you.
