I find any other behavior to be confusing. The purpose
of the dialog is to insert new, named fields into the
dialog based on some reference set with which you'll
be merging. Let's say that you create a 1000 line long
CSV from a database dump. Its first line is the column
names:

first_name,last_name,address,telephone
dom,lachowicz,boston,...
frank,franklin,newcastle,...

You'll want to insert the column names as fields into
the document.

Hope that explains things a bit.

Best,
Dom
