MAIL MERGE: Default fields "Topic" and "Subject" are only printed in first document

Hi,

I've some trouble with the default fields "Topic" and "Subject" of the
document properties.
They are only printed in the first mail merge document if I set the field
to the document.
At the following documents there are only whitespace.

Can anyone confirm my problem?
Is it a bug or a misused by myself?

regards
Sven

I can confirm your problem.

I see Title/Subject only on the first page irrespective of whether I save the final merged document as a whole or as individual documents.

I tested using the Mail Wizard tool.

Raise it as a bug and post back here the reference.

I see that someone else has now confirmed that the bug has been present for a long time.

oh well, I'm looking forward that this problem would be fixed soon in one
of the next LO versions.

As a work-around have you considered hard-coding the Title and Subject in the Starting Document instead of inserting the Title and Subject fields?
