Error when inserting checkox

Hi,
I have updated to the latest aspose version (coming from one of the latest pure java builds).
Now I have a problem inserting checkboxing using a IFieldMergingCallback. With our last version the function was working.
Here the code I am using:
public void fieldMerging(FieldMergingArgs fieldMergingArgs) throws Exception {
if (fieldMergingArgs.getFieldValue() instanceof Boolean) {
try {
documentBuilder.moveToMergeField(fieldMergingArgs.getFieldName());
String checkBoxName = MessageFormat.format("{0}{1}", fieldMergingArgs.getFieldName(),
fieldMergingArgs.getRecordIndex());
// Insert a check box.
documentBuilder.insertCheckBox(checkBoxName, (Boolean) fieldMergingArgs.getFieldValue(), 0);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new DocumentConvertingException(“Unable to create checkbox for boolean merge field.”, e);
}
}
}

The value of the fieldMergingArgs is a Boolean.

Now the follwoing exception is raised:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find bookmark ‘fieldName0’ in the document.
at com.aspose.words.zzZR.zzX(Unknown Source)
at com.aspose.words.Bookmark.getBookmarkEnd(Unknown Source)
at com.aspose.words.Bookmark.setName(Unknown Source)
at com.aspose.words.FormField.setName(Unknown Source)
at com.aspose.words.DocumentBuilder.insertCheckBox(Unknown Source)
at com.werum.proreg.officeprintout.template_administration_server.internal.BooleanMergeFieldHandler.fieldMerging(BooleanMergeFieldHandler.java:67)
… 69 more

while “fieldName” is the name of the mail merging field in the template.

Can anyone give my any hint why this is not working anymore?

Best regards
