Hi all, hoping someone can help me out. I am creating a word document from a SharePoint list item via metadata, and it looks great except for unused fields. The mapped document property shows the name of the field in brackets when it's empty. I found conditional logic using Alt + F9, and read the article but the auto-refresh that's supposed to happen when you open the document isn't working. So the result is that I can do a CNTRL + A, F9 manually, and the field gets hidden, but otherwise the annoying label shows up. The only other thing I've found online is writing a macros, and I can't do that for this use case. It feels like there should be a way to do this out of the box. If anyone has already figured this out please let me know, thanks!
