UpdateFields BUG

[Deathef]

I call the method getMailMerge().execute() after updateFields, then it comes a bug like this

        String resourceWordPath = "demo.docx";
        String targetWordPath = "demo1.docx";
        try {
            WordToPdfUtils.getLicense();
            Document doc = new Document(resourceWordPath);
            doc.getMailMerge().execute(new String[]{"name"}, new String[]{"111"});
            doc.updateFields();
            doc.save(targetWordPath);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

@Deathef MS Word applies restartNumberingAfterBreak attribute to each list in document during mail merge. Aspose.Words also follows this behavior. So this is considered as Not a bug. You may use the following code snippet to retain original list numbering:

Document doc = new Document(resourceWordPath);

Map<List,Boolean> lists = new HashMap<List,Boolean> ();
for (List list : doc.getLists())
    lists.put(list,list.isRestartAtEachSection());

doc.getMailMerge().execute(new String[]{"name"}, new String[]{"111"});

for (Map.Entry<List, Boolean> pair : lists.entrySet())
    pair.getKey().isRestartAtEachSection(pair.getValue());

doc.updateFields();
doc.save(targetWordPath);

Please let me know if the proposed workaround works for you and the issue can be closed.
