xref within a conref breaking

I have a conref to content that includes a xref. This looks like it works ok until I save my ditamap as a book and look at the resulting fm file. At which point the nested xref has disappeared (the fm-xref element exists but only contains WHITESPACE as the visible text, the href property is still present but the link is broken).

Is there a way to make this work?

Thanks!

Hi, were you able to solve the problem? I have a similar issue with xref which is inside a conref and all into a book. Very frustrating...

I would really appreciate a solution to this if one exists - does anyone know? I'm just having to reorganise my content to move the links out of the reused sections at the moment.

Thanks!

Can you share the build number from About FrameMaker which you are using. I tried this with FM2019 Update 2(internal build) and when saved the ditamap as Book with components and in the final fm document the xref which was part of a conref came in correctly and link is not broken. If you could share a small sample file where this issue is coming and i could send you the updated book file with internal Update 2 build. Update 2 is planned for release next week.

Thanks

Thanks Amitoj. I first saw the problem in FM 2017, but am now using FM 2019, version 15.0.1.430.

What's the best way to share files with you?
