Nested Group Mail Merge with Columns

I am attempting to do a nested group mail merge.  The template requires data broken out into 2 columns.  The merge seems to ignore the data in the columns.  I saw a thread from 5 years ago indicating that you would add this support for a future release, I am looking for help making this work.  I have attached an example document template.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your update.

On further checking the reported problem, we have found that Begin and End Group of mail merge are in different sections in the template Word document. Currently DocIO provides support for mail merge groups only within the same section or text body and doesn’t support separation of a group among multiple sections during mail merge.

We have already logged this as a feature request in our database and We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature.  At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features.  We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

The status of this feature can be tracked using following feedback report.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
Manikandan Ravichandran
