Run Parameters Should Persist Correctly When Editing a Merge Action

Currently, when users edit a merge action, the run parameters they enter on the first screen do not persist across the merge wizard steps. Instead, the default values reappear:

  • On the second screen, parameters revert to default.

  • On the final "Run" screen, parameters again show defaults, requiring re-entry.

This creates confusion, especially for end users who may not understand why their values disappear.

Proposed Improvement:

  • Ensure that once a user enters run parameter values, those values persist consistently through all steps of the merge action until completion.

  • Align run parameter behavior with the Test Mode options, which are hidden when editing but applied consistently.

Impact:

  • Reduces end-user confusion.

  • Prevents rework/re-entry of parameters.

  • Improves trust and usability of Mail Merge for admins and non-admin users alike.
