Hello,

Have there been any changes that would have broken Word document properties?  I setup document properties following the guide located at: http://securityroots.com/dradispro/support/guides/word_reports/custom_properties.html a long time ago.  These appear to now be broken when I export a report.  It is behaving very odd, certain properties are not getting replaced at all, partially replaced, and some are just flat out in the wrong spot.  Thanks for looking into this.

Forgot to mention that as a sanity check, I made a page with ONLY document properties and they worked exactly as they should.  It seems that when they are mixed in with other text, they either sort of work or get mixed up with other document properties.

Hi Will,

The fact that a straightforward example works makes me thing that this may be: a) project related, b) template related.


Could this be a case of two notes in the project assigned to “AdvancedWordExport properties”? You can use the “Export validator” to check for this situation:





Did you make any recent changes to the report template around the properties? Something I know sometimes causes issues is if the default property value in Word has a typo (which causes the content to have wavy red underline).


HTH,
Daniel
