Automatic update of Word fields related to SW PDM

PDM
1

Hi all.
In a Word document, I have a number of fields related to SW PDM.
My problem is that during a transition to my " Approved " document some of these variables are changed, but the Word file is not saved with the fields up to date.
And it seems impossible to update these fields on a read-only file (even for a view) when the latter is approved and therefore archived.
Did I miss something? Is there a trick/macro to open > update fields → save during my flow transition?

Thank you all in advance for your answers.

Hello

If the fields are mapped, and unless I'm mistaken, they are updated in the properties of the Word file.
The only difference, if these are parameterized fields, is that they have to be updated (Ctrl+A, F9).
In our PDM, the Word frame has a macro that has the opening updates all the parameterized fields.

Hello
A text field mapped to a custom property of the Word file (similar to $PRP or $PRPSHEET on SW drawings).
