global:
  database:
    activeConnectionString      => appModelConnectionString
    activeDb                    => appModelDatabase
    activeSchema                => appModelSchema
    descriptiveConnectionString => DELETE
    descriptiveDb               => DELETE
    descriptiveSchema           => DELETE

The value for appModelSchema should also be updated to the new name of the merged schema.

#23675 Mail Merge (Word) has stricter decimal separator interpretation (third party)
