If conditions are not interpreted correctly with UpdateFields

HI,


I have a document with some if statments in and have following simple code to update the fields:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Aspose.Words.Document aspDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document("C:\\Document_before_update.docx");

aspDoc.UpdateFields();

Aspose.Words.SaveFormat docSaveFormat = Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Docx;

docSaveFormat = Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Docx;

aspDoc.Save("C:\\Document_after_update.docx", docSaveFormat);

}

But the result "Document_after_update.docx" does not look correct.


When I open the result in Word and update the fields manually, all is shown correctly.

Can you tell me why the if statements are not updated correctly with my code?

I am using the latest aspose version 16.11


Attached you can find my docx files. Thx for your help.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your patience. It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue (WORDSNET-14453) as 'Not a Bug'.

Your document contains several nested IF fields with content control. The result of the topmost IF field is combination of SDT (content control). In addition, sample document contains the DATE field at the beginning.

Aspose.Words updates IF fields with success. But, when MS Word opens the output document it updates the DATE field and this leads to invalidate SDT content in the IF field result for a unclear reason.

It seems that it is a MS Word bug. It is very easy to reproduce problem with MS Word:

  • Open sample document.
  • Update fields: the result of the IF field is correct.
  • Save and close document.
  • Reopen sample document: the result of the IF field is incorrect.
