What this demonstrates
Choose how merged values affect form fields
Mail merge can target form fields without requiring separate field-by-field manipulation. The merge mode determines whether recipients can still edit the result.
Preselect keeps the controls and sets their current values. Replace removes the controls and writes ordinary document content in their place.
API used
MailMerge.FormFieldMergeType
How it works
The controller loads the patient-history template and the colocated JSON data. FormFieldMergeType.Preselect preserves fields; FormFieldMergeType.Replace flattens the merged values before the result is loaded.
