Description of the issue

Having a table called Vulnerability with a field called "name". When placing the field in a Merge Field, it does not display but shows <<name>>. Seems to be an issue with this very database, which I created over the past couple of weekends. The problem persists with other fields and other layouts as well.

When placing the field on the layout as a "proper" Field, it displays correctly.

Recovered the DB. Emptied all the tables, re-entering the data. No change, i.e. same problem.
