Seneca Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It seems that it's not possible to lay out data merge structure in Master Pages at the moment. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or simply not planned at all. It would be a very powerful thing to be able to create a number of page layouts using the Data Merge Node box in Master Pages and being able to change the layout of the merged page at will later. Basically a combination of Smart Master Pages + Smart Merge = a very powerful feature for catalogues, etc. 2017 27” iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 • Radeon Pr 580 8GB • 64GB • Ventura 13.6.4. iPad Pro (10.5-inch) • 256GB • Version 16.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If assigned to a master page then it creates a new document with the required number of pages but they contain copies of field placeholders only. When saving that placeholder output I get the error: "Save failed due to an internal error. This should be reported to the development team." macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
