Allow more than 55 Merge Fields on a Write-up Template
Current functionality: When creating write- ups in GO, a user is limited by MS Word as to the amount of merge fields they can include (55 to include + 8 by default) in their template. In Classic GIFTS / Alta, the user was able to enter database field codes in their template in place of merge fields which assisted with breaking this imposed limit. Desired Functionality: Client would like some way to be able to include more than 55 merge fields in a template. Client purpose: They are creating complex write-ups and would like to lay out their templates using varying pieces of data existing within their database on GO.

Totally agree although I've been told this is a Microsoft issue. Microsoft limits the number of fields in the template in Word. However, it would be great to have this resolved and also agree we need to be able to see the available fields when building the template. Would also be nice to be able to see all the fields instead of having to choose them first because often I have been creating a template and when writing it discover I need an additional field. This means I have to close the template, go back to where I choose the fields, select the additional field then go back into the template again.

I would also be helpful if you could see the list of available merge fields (all of them) and the document you are building. As it is now you have to pick the fields you think you will need then open and create the document and if you find you missed one you have to close the document and pick that field then go back in and finish creating your document.
I am having the same issue when creating complex merge documents where I want a lot of data presented to the board to pull over into a document.
