Hi Christian,
Thanks for your inquiry. The issue occurs because of this merge field nested inside an If field:
``
Merging this set of fields will cause the exception when the merge field value contains an open parenthesis, which occurs in: dictionary.Add(“Person_Geburtsort”, “Buir (jetzt Kerpen)”);
This parenthesis causes no problems in a normal merge field, only in the merge field which is nested inside an IF field.
For the time being I suggest you try to convice your customer to either:

  • Not use parentheses in that situation, or use a different type of bracket
    for the time being, i.e square brackets[]

  • Rework the fields to remove the IF field all together. As it appears right now, the IF field is redundant and the same functionality can be achived by replacing the whole field with just “in {MERGEFIELD Person_Geburtsort)”

If neither of these work arounds will suffice for now please give us some feedback of what sort of changes the customer would be okay with and we will take another look.
Thanks,
