UpdateFields made field text bold unexpectedly using Aspose.Words

Hi,

When running UpdateFields() on a document, I noticed the field text in the footer was refreshed in bold even if the field was not in bold and the field style is set to be preserved.

Code:
var document = new Document(“test.docx”);
document.UpdateFields();
document.Save(“testout.docx”);

I’ve attached the test and output file for your reference. You can see the field in the footer of original document is not in bold but in the output document it is bold.

Could you please take a look into this?

Thanks,

@Crane Thank you for additional information. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem on my side. I have changed text and style names to English (default) for testing:

Document document = new Document();
com.aspose.words.List list = document.getLists().add(ListTemplate.NUMBER_DEFAULT);
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(document);
documentBuilder.write("This is some text");
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getListFormat().setList(list);
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
documentBuilder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_NEW_PAGE);
documentBuilder.write("Another text");
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getParagraphFormat().setStyleIdentifier(StyleIdentifier.HEADING_1);
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getListFormat().setList(list);
documentBuilder.getCurrentParagraph().getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
documentBuilder.insertBreak(BreakType.SECTION_BREAK_NEW_PAGE);
for (Section section : document.getSections()) {
    HeaderFooter headerFooter = new HeaderFooter(document, HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST);
    section.getHeadersFooters().add(headerFooter);
    Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
    paragraph.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
    paragraph.appendField("STYLEREF \"Heading 1\" \\n");
    paragraph.appendField("STYLEREF \"Heading 1\"  \\* MERGEFORMAT");
    for (Object childNode : paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true)) {
        if (childNode instanceof Run) {
            Run run = (Run)childNode;
            run.getFont().setBold(false);
            run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
        }
    }
    headerFooter.getParagraphs().add(paragraph);
    PageSetup pageSetup = section.getPageSetup();
    pageSetup.setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter(true);
    pageSetup.setBorderSurroundsHeader(true);
    pageSetup.setOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(true);
}
document.updateFields();
document.save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");
