Reply To: Assign data merge tag automatically using a script

Hi Loic,

I’ve managed to understand what I did wrong… but I don’t totally understand why it behave like this.
The script does work just as intended. When the Data merge panel is shown I can see that they are applied, and when I try to select a part of a tag it select as a whole.

What I was doing wrong is thinking that once applied as a tag it would always be selectable as a whole.. but when the Data merge panel isn’t shown on screen tags are still selectable as bare text. I was looking at the script panel and selecting the text to see if it worked… which wouldn’t happened until I had both the script panel and data merge panel opened side by side and thus shown on the screen. Then it magically worked and select as I thought it would.

Again, you’re help was and is very precious.
