Hello,

I am using below code for adding new form fields and remove old one.

but for second time, it will give me the error like

“System.InvalidOperationException: Document structure was changed.”.

please see below code,

foreach (Aspose.Words.Fields.FormField field in doc.Range.FormFields)
{
    if (field.Type == Aspose.Words.Fields.FieldType.FieldFormTextInput)
    {
        if (field.Name == "xxDWPerPremLmtLab_1")
        {
            Node currentNode = field;
            while (currentNode.NodeType != NodeType.FieldStart)
            {
                currentNode = currentNode.PreviousSibling;
            }
            //move cursor to fieldStrar
            builder.MoveTo(currentNode);
            //Insert image
            builder.InsertImage(FilePath + "test.jpg");
            //Now we should remove field
            while (currentNode.NodeType != NodeType.FieldEnd)
            {
                currentNode = currentNode.NextSibling;
                currentNode.PreviousSibling.Remove();
            }
            //currentNode.Remove();
            doc.UpdateFields();
