Conditional Text for Reuse
I am attempting to use Conditional Text in multiple documents that contain the same linked InCopy story, but the Conditional Text is malformed when I check out/check in the story. Is there a way to leverage Conditional Text and synchronize it across different documents that are not part of a book.
For example, I have four different models all of which come standard with various options. Some of the models come with additional option and some with fewer. I would like to use conditional text to update the "source" InCopy story for these features so I can update in a single document then update the link in subsequent documents.
The issue I've run into is that these Conditional Text values seem to shift of their own accord when the InCopy story is modified in one document then updated in another. I come from the DITA world where conditions were easily used for content reuse - is there any way to tweak InDesign's Conditional Text to function in a similar way?
