anto Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I tried to do a complex data merge and saw a configuration in which Publisher always crashes. When you have three nested data merge layers (as shown in the picture). (The merge has the same field in each of the merge layouts.) 2024-04-04 13-22-56.mp4 fc00bcc2-50a2-4fe2-a541-4895bb63cf9d.dmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Hi @anto, While I can confirm I see the same crash, my first question would be, 'why' do you have nested Data Merge Layers, what are you attempting to achieve by having them nested?

They allow you to create complex cyclic data merges. The first merge layer waits until the nested one fills all the cells, etc. Here is example, but I wanted to try to do something even more complicated. 2022-07-12 06-54-39.mp4 Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
