Quick Parts
2 TopicsWord quick parts - issues with managed metadata when converting word to pdf
Hello everyone, I am having an odd issue which I am not sure how to deal with. I have a site (SharePoint Online) with document sets and different content types. Within document sets I create various Word documents which I fill with data using Word Quick parts (data from columns). Everything seems to work fine until I export the file to PDF via Microsoft flow (when I open the original Word files, everything is filled in correctly). Most of the time, all the information is filled in, except of 2 quick parts, which are basically filled with managed metadata. For some reason, only these 2 are not getting the information, even thought the original Word document has those filled in (I basically take the same document and convert it to PDF file). I am not sure why this is happening. Also, one of my former colleagues has created a custom functionality to create PDF files directly on SharePoint (not using Flow), but the same thing happens. The only way when all data is filled in PDF document is when you convert file directly from word using File --> Export --> Create PDF. From what I see, it seems that in this process, quick parts have the issue with column types of managed metadata, as the other ones work as expected. If anyone has any idea why this happens, I would much appreciate it.1.9KViews1like3CommentsWord file quick parts don't match correctly to SharePoint lists just shows numbers
I am using quick parts to track documents based on drop down values. I have a template in the SharePoint directory that is used when new documents are created. Recently, I've encountered an issue where, after creating a new document and selecting values from the Quick Part drop-downs, the document saves correctly. However, when I later open the file from SharePoint, even though it is in the same directory, I notice that the Quick Part drop-downs have changed from their initial letter values to a number. This number appears to represent the position of the original value in its corresponding list. However, the drop-downs no longer connect to the list and only display the tag name without any values. Here is an example of a file with quick parts that works correctly, the end normally has an index number, but the first two quick parts are meant to have 3 letter abbreviations. Here is an example of the issue that is occurring Can't figure out what might be causing this, even if I don't use the same template, or try to reconnec the quick parts it still has issues once it happens to any document.1.7KViews0likes1Comment
