How to add a new field to existing XML Mapping
Thank you very much, Charles_Kenyon!
All great contents, they absolutely got me there! What actually got me to the answer was https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5029965/xml-location-of-document-properties-in-quick-partsthat%20list%20-%20Sharepoint mensioned in https://addbalance.com/word/MappedControls.htm.
The solution for this is simply explained https://sharepointmaven.com/how-to-add-sharepoint-metadata-to-word-documents-using-quick-parts-document-properties/ as well, which is:- create a SharePoint Team page
- add a Documents Library
- create a Word doc at the library (or upload an existing one as I did)
- add new columns/properties to the Documents Library
- these properties can now be inserted in Word with Quick Parts's Document Properties, keeping the mapping function
- you can also download the file with those properties built-in or make some template from it
That's neat! Better and simpler than what I was expecting.

Thank you for sharing this. I've added a link to it in my page on Repeating Data Using Document Property Content Controls and Other Mapped Content Controls.
I also updated my original discussion with that link.
I am not a SharePoint user. I have found repurposing the built-in ones sufficient. My page includes methods using Building Blocks to give a menu of the repurposed controls. However, simply adding them to the built-in menu is even better.
I don't know what's happening to my link there. When I made it (and also when I try to edit it) it's shown as a clickable text. But when it's posted, it's shown ugly like that.
